Au bistro des découvertes ! #7

Our popular series of musical pairings presents its third season!

Our sweet little concert series has been a big success! Au bistro des découvertes, as the name implies, is a place for discoveries in music, but also just a nice place to spend an evening. Our audience feedback tells us that this series has a uniquely personal and relaxed vibe that keeps them coming back.

The secret to this special ambiance? It’s the special camaraderie among musicians. The formula is as follows: a well-known figure in Francophone musical circles invites us to meet a lesser-known, yet highly talented musical acquaintance. A high-school friend. A rising star. A talented back-up band member. A dream-come-true stage partner. One thing is sure: it will be a memorable encounter.

Along with their musical recommendations, the host artists also share their food preferences by composing the evening’s meal menu. Their chosen dish and drinks evoke memories of travel and family gatherings or their go-to comfort food. Even the recorded music in the background during the meal is the host artist’s playlist. The overall effect is a special impression, as if we’ve been invited into a star’s inner circle.

Au bistro des découvertes, over the course of two seasons, we’ve welcomed the likes of Robert Paquette, Stef Paquette, Patricia Cano, Dayv Poulin, Ed Landry, Cécile Doo-Kingué, Simon Jutras and many more, including the series’ creator himself, Dan Bédard, in the company of their invited musical guests.

Like us regular folk, headliner musicians love to share their tastes in music with friends. So, come and be a friend! It’s one Tuesday per month, from September to April. Consider this your personal invitation. We will see you soon at Au bistro des découvertes, season 3.

Discover our host artist’s favorite meal from 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m., followed by the show from 7:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.

**Meals by reservation only. For those who wish to enhance their evening experience by sharing the dinner, it must be reserved in advance, no later than the Thursday before the event. No orders can be taken on site. Thank you for your understanding. If you have already reserved your meal, there is no need to contact us. Your reservation has already been recorded.**

Duncan Cameron presents...

He is one of those aces of Celtic music who makes you envy the genre and its followers. He knows his way around traditional French songs from Quebec as well. The violin is his first instrument, but he also plays mandolin, guitar, tinwhistle, harmonica, bodhrán, and concertina and puts them to good use in arrangements that transcend tradition. He currently resides in Killarney, Ontario. With his guest tonight, we have a fine pair of aces.

Jenny Melvin

She learned to play traditional music on her family’s farm in Nova Scotia’s beautiful Annapolis Valley, then from masters in Ireland, and has travelled the world on its wings. A multi-instrumentalist herself, she adds her harp to the kit, and leads a series of online violin lessons, “Tunes and Tea.” Her style is both fiery and finespun and she believes the best music is close to the floor, where music and dance become one.

An Irish‑style menu!

To accompany Duncan Cameron, Mama G’s is crafting an Irish‑inspired menu that will take your taste buds on a journey :

  • Irish Guinness beef stew
  • Bread pudding with Baileys cream
  • Guinness beer (Duncan’s drink of choice, available at the bar)
