ALAIN MASSÉ
Alain massé was born Assé Malain. He draws songs. He likes talking about death, abandonned dreams and poutine. He feeds his guitar twice a day. At night he sleeps. He brushes his teeth. Sometimes he cries while hinking. It hurts. He has a remedy for the sickness of living. He makes babies. His four girls are now grown up. He doesn’t change their diapers anymore. As a singer songwriter he has performed at FrancoFolies and many other venues and festivals around Québec. www.myspace.com/alainmasse

ROBBIE TUCKER AND THE DANGEROUS CRAYONS
After being diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, playing has been a struggle, but aggressively treating his condition has allowed this local musician to continue to pursue his passion. In a tight mixture of folk and rock, his lyrics are a testament. The stage would be the best place to get to know the singer-song writer; the stage is where he lets loose. Tucker's live performances are so full of energy and emotion. www.robbietucker.com
