ABOUT CHIC GAMINE:
Chic Gamine, the impishly charming Winnipeg/Montreal-based vocal quintet, has been serenading its audiences since the summer of 2007. The group is composed of singers Ariane Jean, Andrina Turenne, Alexa Dirks, Annick Brémault and drummer Sacha Daoud. Over the years, its members have been integral parts of a multitude of projects, notably, R’n’B/Soul sensation little boy boom, Brazilian Funk/Pop flavoured Gaïa and International Independant Music Award laureate, World Vocal ensemble Madrigaïa.

With a solo percussionist as their main musical support, Chic Gamine use their voices as instruments, effortlessly launching into intricate string arrangements, bass-heavy rhythm sections and lush harmonies. These multifariously talented songwriters create a sound that resonates with soul, passion and an unabashedly random and sometimes downright peculiar brand of humour that reels audiences in and leaves them begging for more. Gospel, Soul, R’n’B, 50’s Doo-Wop, Brazilian forro and French Chanson are infused into the voices and rhythms of these 5 schemers and effervescent songmakers. And the whole is liberally doused with the happy-go-lucky impulsiveness unique to Chic Gamine...

With just two years under their stylishly coordinated belts, they’ve performed all over North America, learned the joys of fly-fishing and recorded and released their first album. Chic Gamine’s self-titled debut has garnered critical acclaim and industry kudos in the form of a Canadian Folk Music Award nomination, a Western Canadian Music Award nomination and also, the 2009 Juno Award for Best Roots/Traditional Album of the Year. Performance highlights include The Winnipeg Folk Festival, The California Strawberry Festival, The California World Fest and opening for the legendary Smokey Robinson at The Festival at Sandpoint, Idaho. Plans for the winter include snowshoeing, relaxing by the fire and recording a second album, due for release in late spring.

“Like an afternoon spent in the harmonious garden of life, Chic Gamine delivers a stellar debut disc, filled with soulful grooves and rich vocal acrobatics.”
-Tony King of CKUA Radio (ckua.org), on Chic Gamine making it into his Top 10 list of 2008 releases.

"Chic Gamine is the new black." - Benwah (musician, producer, genius)

"A groovin' powerhouse of harmonic brilliance and beauty" - Don Benedicson (composer, producer, musician)

"Dynamic, profound and visceral entertainers." - Leonard Podolak (musician, The Duhks)

Annick and Sacha, Congratulations!!!!!
Alexa!  I hope you remember where your "Red Dog" pin is.
It would be so Chic to have it, when you get to Virginia City.
This is amazing, but even more so, you now share the same webpage with the lady who will be on the same stage you were on, (yes we are building it again) exactly one year ago, here in the home of the old Red Dog!  I told you "Red" lives on!

Wow!  So much Chic News coming my way recently! 
And now I see that you have a very tempting venue to play at, up there in Virginia City, Nevada!  I can't believe that I am the last one to know, that you are playing at the Red Dog Saloon, but my wooden brain is not what it used to be!  I hope I can get pb to drive me over there, but I am just a little worried about invading another Red Dog's territory.
