Rabaska marks the release of their second album with a concert at Cabaret Lion d'or in Montreal. It is a launch evening, so the band is sharing new material as well as the songs that have followed them since they began.
The evening
Alexandrine Larson opens the night with a set of sensitive, honest folk, setting a quiet tone before the headliners take the stage. Rabaska then play new songs from the record alongside earlier favourites, giving the audience a sense of how the band has grown.
The music
- Folk at the core of the songwriting
- Progressive rock in the arrangements
- Funk grooves running through the set
- Quebec chanson, rooted in the province's own tradition
The second album was made with producer Simon Kearney. It follows a first record released in 2023, and the band has played more than a hundred shows across Quebec, so this concert is a chance to hear where that touring experience has led them.
