My wife just called Vincent Vallières "a French Beatle." She could be on to something there. Well, French-language, anyway, as he's a Québécois singer from the city of Sherbrooke, Quebec. I checked a top 20 pop chart from Montreal recently, and it looked like Mr. Vallières was the only non-English speaker on that particular list. We caught just a little bit of his performance before what I'd say was about 60,000 people at Francofolies 2011 -- wish I could have seen more and a little closer at that. From what I've seen and heard, he's a pop-rock treasure in the province.
Ever have a bus trip like this? It brings back a few memories...
