David Boulanger

Bio:

Born in 1983 in Saint-Hubert (Québec, CANADA), I started my musical education at the age of 8. About 10 years after, I studied jazz violin and jazz/pop/electro composition & arrangement at Cégep de St-Laurent in Montreal. In the same time, I started to play with LaPart du Queteux, a traditionnal québécois band. I recorded 2 cds with this group. I also play with other bands as a substitute. Since few years, I compose tunes in the québécois style that can be hear with La Part du Quêteux. In March 2006, I started to play on a new circus show, that combine traditional music of Québec with acrobats, dancers and actors, called Le Cirque Alfonce: La Brunante. I just started to play (just for fun!) Old Time music with two good friends of mine : Yann Falquet on the clawhammer banjo and Alexandre ''Moulin'' De Grosbois-Garand at the fiddle, both from Genticorum. In February 2007, I've joined La Bottine Souriante. Now I enjoy cooking gargantuan and carnivious meal (sorry for the vegetarians!) and playing good tunes with friends at Montreal's sessions, where I live now. Hope I'll see you somewhere... maybe in Montréal! D.
