🎸 Artist Lineup

The Ramblers
3:00 PM – 4:00 PM
A high‑energy Montreal blues‑rock band led by charismatic Éric Farran (vocals, harmonica). Known for electrifying live shows and a repertoire blending blues, rock ’n’ roll, and country. The group has been thrilling Quebec stages for over 20 years.
Sound vibe: Rolling Stones energy – powerful blues‑rock with plenty of harmonica and a rock swagger.

Big Lew
4:15 PM – 5:30 PM
The stage name of pianist/singer Louis‑David LeClerc, leading Big Lew and the Screamin’ Rockets. He delivers boogie‑woogie, swing, and old‑school rock ’n’ roll with a virtuosic touch on the keys.
Sound vibe: Upbeat, danceable blues with a vintage feel – boogie piano, sax‑driven rhythms, and a hint of rockabilly.

Jah Cutta
6:00 PM – 7:30 PM
A true Montreal reggae icon. With over 40 years in the business, Jah Cutta (Carlton Williams) has released 12 albums, hit #1 on Canada’s Reggae North chart (with his cover of Marvin Gaye’s “How Sweet It Is”), and shared stages with Peter Tosh, The Wailers, and Buju Banton. His new album Jah Cutta Sings Gold (recorded at Tuff Gong Studios in Kingston) reimagines soul and pop classics in a reggae style.
Sound vibe: Roots reggae with an uplifting, message‑driven spirit – smooth vocals, deep grooves, and the stage presence of a seasoned veteran.

Sylvie Desgroseilliers
7:45 PM – 9:15 PM
A versatile francophone singer and arranger active since the 1990s. She presents her “Women of Soul” show, a passionate tribute to iconic voices like Aretha Franklin, Etta James, Whitney Houston, and Tina Turner. She has released three albums and is the mother of Nino Flamenco (the next artist).
Sound vibe: Soul‑infused pop and jazz with powerful, gospel‑rooted vocals and a warm stage presence.

Nino & Electric Soul
9:30 PM – 11:00 PM
A young Montreal soul‑R&B band founded in 2021 by singer‑guitarist Nino Flamenco. Their sound is a modern take on 1970s soul, funk, and R&B, inspired by Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, Earth Wind & Fire, Anderson .Paak, and D’Angelo. Their debut EP P.A.S.T. (2025) features lush live instrumentation and has been praised for its nostalgic yet fresh grooves.
Sound vibe: Electric soul, funk, and R&B – danceable, vibrant, and deeply rooted in Black American music traditions.
