Quebec’s Country-Folk super group Isabeau et les Chercheurs d’Or (Isabeau and the Golddiggers) will be on its first tour in Maine and New Hampshire in early August, which includes a concert on Aug. 5 at the Tillotson Center in Colebrook. The Great North Woods Committee for the Arts and New England Celtic Arts will present the group at the Tillotson Center at 7 p.m. that night.
Isabeau and the Gold Diggers take their music from the source of the mountain roots music, song and folk of Quebec. On record and on stage, the quintet keeps the aura of truth that sticks so well to the genre. Loosely based on the folk tradition, Isabeau and the Gold Diggers offer its own adventure with Country Music. It reveals a personal universe background of romance, travel and everyday life. Carried by the vocal harmonies, mandolin or violin, the band’s music is timeless. It has to move, stomp and dance. It easily goes from pleasure to tears listening to these songs sewn by hand, carried by the frank and nuanced voice of Isabel Valois. Think Old Timey music with a Quebecois/Acadian/Cajun twist.
The band is being featured in a TV Ontario (TVO) documentary about an artist’s life on the road and the behind the scenes look at touring internationally. A four-member film crew will be filming during the concerts in Colebrook and in Maine, including at the Tillotson Center.
The Tillotson Center is on Rte. 26, next to the Colebrook Post Office.
