É.T.É brings a fresh, contemporary vision to Québécois trad music. Violinist Élisabeth Moquin, bouzouki player Thierry Clouette, and cellist Élisabeth Giroux blend jazz, progressive rock, and classical influences to craft original compositions and inventive arrangements of Québécois and Acadian repertoire. Their rich vocal harmonies, infectious groove, and onstage chemistry transform every kitchen party into an unforgettable show. Since their 2017 debut Le bois des midnights, they’ve earned multiple awards—including OPUS “Discovery of the Year,” the Linda Lemay Award, and a GAMIQ “Lucien”—and toured across Canada, the U.S., Scotland, Belgium, and Australia. Their latest album, Sur ces eaux, was released in November 2022.Keith Murphy and Yann Falquet are masters of contemporary Celtic guitar, representing the compelling textures, harmonies and rhythms that the guitar has brought to traditional songs and instrumentals since the Celtic music revival in the 1970s.
As singers, they bring a rich blending of the Franco and Anglo song traditions. Falquet comes with a wealth of songs from the French-Canadian tradition. He is probably best known for his work with the Québécois trio, Genticorum, with whom he has been a driving force since the group’s inception. Murphy is a highly respected traditional singer and brings a song repertoire filled with gems from his native Newfoundland as well as Québec and his current home, Vermont. He was a founding member of the groundbreaking trio, Nightingale.
