Quebecois Singer-Songwriter Geneviève Racette with local hero Jillian Matundan
Reserve TicketsNationally renowned folk-pop-americana musician Geneviève Racette has captivated listeners with her gentle, yet compelling, emotional resonance, and garnered impressive industry support for her folk-pop tracks ever since her first EP in 2014. Through her vulnerable lyricism and ethereal vocals, Geneviève has emerged as a rising star in both French and English-speaking Canadian music scenes.
As a woman in music, it is essential to Geneviève that she surrounds herself with like-minded females in the industry. She is proud that over half her team involved in the creation of her music are female musicians and members of the industry.
Through fine-tuning her artistic vision and developing a profound network of professionals, Geneviève approached the release of her music with a newfound creative state of mind and a vision to export her music across North America and beyond. A feat she unwaveringly conquered. The singer-songwriter has showcased in numerous conferences (Folk Alliance International, AmericanaFest, Folk Music Ontario, NERFA) as well as headlined over 100 venues, festivals and house concerts throughout Canada and the USA, such as the Philadelphia Folk Festival, Kerrville New Folk Competition, Club Passim, The Ark, Miles of Music Festival, etc. Geneviève is also confirmed to headline the Cambridge Folk Festival in 2025.
Her next album, "Golden", scheduled for release on October 18th, 2024, was partly written in Nashville and presents themes of sobriety, friendship breakups, anxiety and cultivating a love relationship with oneself. Her song “Same Old Me” received praise from Tom Paxton, recipient of a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award, for her songwriting skills. Surrounded by her all-female band Judith Little (backing vocals and percussion) and Éléonore Pitre (electric and acoustic guitar), Geneviève invites you to dive into her folk-pop-americana universe with her touching, expressive and catchy songs.
Jillian Matundan, a multi-instrumental singer-songwriter, trade unionist, and first-generation Filipina American has delighted audiences with her resonant vocals, acute and relatable observations matched with her unique guitar-style and wicked sense of humor. After a fifteen year hiatus from music, she ventured to local open mics in 2019 and has been on a tear ever since, winning multiple songwriting awards, playing numerous shows, collaborating with musicians on stage and in the studio, and released her debut EP, "Hangin' On" in 2020. “Singing to the Moon”, her first full-length album, debuted at No. 6 on the FAI Folk Chart in March 2024.
