Help
(Tribute to the Beatles)
The “live” Beatles experience!
HELP! - founded in 1999, are the most popular Beatles tribute band in Eastern Canada, and have nearly 750 shows to their name!! They have toured Canada, the US, the Caribbean, casinos, theaters, festivals and more. HELP! has always paid close attention to detail; the imitation of voices, harmonies and movements, the costumes identical to the originals, the playing and the look of authentic musical instruments - even the hair is identical! the look – everything should be as “Beatles” as possible” according to Pascal, the manager and the 'Paul' of HELP! – “I even re-learned to play the left bass; Paul is left-handed, so I decided to become left-handed (but in show only!)”. HELP! recreates the spirit, charm and charisma of the Beatles, which made them so popular with audiences. Their goal is for all viewers to have as much fun as possible, and to experience the "feel" of having experienced seeing The Beatles in person - and in an interactive way - people singing and usually dance throughout the show!

Colin Moore
olin Moore is a singer-songwriter from Montreal with a unique and bewitching voice, often compared to the greats: the voice of a young Springsteen, the rock of Petty, the road of Dylan, the energy rebellious of Ness, the strength of Cash... He offers us free texts singing love in all its extremes where friendship and loneliness rub shoulders cheerfully. Upon the release of his first album Leaving Home, he quickly got noticed and went on to a series of festivals: Festival d'été de Québec, Festival International de Jazz de Montréal, Canadian Music Week, South by Southwest , North by Northeast… Colin Moore tours tirelessly, both domestically and internationally, performing over 300 dates in two years, in the United States , in Europe, Canada and Australia, alongside artists such as Joseph Arthur, Alan Jackson, Rodger Hodgson, David Usher, Holly Williams, Jeff Martin, Sophie Hunger & Roseanne Cash. In April 2011, Colin Moore was also nominated for the prestigious Grand Prix de la Relève Musicale Archambault and a GAMIQ award.
With his second opus Heart of the Storm, Colin Moore presents us with more rock songs without putting aside the charm and the emotion of his acoustic pieces. Supported by his band, Ryan Battistuzzi (guitar), Vincent Peake (bass) and Dustin Moores (drums), the artist is ready to hit the road armed with his guitar and harmonica. Heart of the Storm was recorded and mixed by John Whynot (Bruce Cockburn, Blue Rodeo, Lucinda Williams, Colin James) and mastered by Ryan Morey (Arcade Fire, Patrick Watson)._cc781905-5cde-3194-bb3b -136bad5cf58d_Colin Moore experienced this recording at the Tragically Hip studio as a deeply inspiring experience since it is one of his cult bands.
Inspired by the 21st century, conspiracy, misinformation and media manipulation . Assuming that everything is in place for these decades to be the last of humanity, le folk de Colin Moore evokes love which tears and which unites, the family and the remoteness, the road, the departures and the quests. Without wallowing in despair, it is rather with an urgency to live and an animal cry that Colin Moore offers us his apocalypse. Des pièces comme Bible Song et Heart of the Storm ajoutent ainsi au disque une touche sombre, une facette de_cc781905- 5cde-3194-bb3b-136bad5cf58d_Colin Moore that we did not know. Pour équilibrer le tout, les pièces Brother et Long Road mettent de l'avant la sensibilité acoustique mieux connue de the singer-songwriter.

Available since April 26, 2019 on the LA be label, the album Live au Pas Perdus is a real musical journey from Acadia to Louisiana during which French-speaking song, groove and joy are in the spotlight.

A form of cultural reappropriation, a reverse deportation. There is an urgency to sing. preferably in unison, this now that is crumbling. Our culture that barely remembers.
