With a solo percussionist as their musical support, Chic Gamine use their voices as instruments, effortlessly launching into intricate string arrangements, bass-heavy rhythm sections and lush harmonies. These multifariously talented songwriters create a sound that resonates with soul, passion and an unabashedly random and sometimes downright peculiar brand of humour. Gospel, Soul, R&B, 50’s Doo-Wop, Brazilian Forro and French Chanson are infused into the voices and rhythms of these 5 schemers and sparkling song makers… and the whole is liberally doused with the happy-go-lucky impulsiveness unique to Chic Gamine…
With three years under their stylishly coordinated belts, they’ve performed all over North America, learned the joys of fly-fishing and released their first album. Chic Gamine’s self-titled debut garnered critical acclaim and industry kudos in the form of a Canadian Folk Music Award nomination, a Western Canadian Music Award nomination, and the 2009 Juno Award for Best Roots/Traditional Album of the Year. Performance highlights include The Winnipeg Folk Festival, The California Strawberry Festival, The California World Fest, opening for the legendary Smokey Robinson at The Festival at Sandpoint, Idaho, and their debut appearance at the 2010 Festival International de Jazz de Montréal. Chic Gamine’s October 13th appearance at Club Soda will coincide with the October 12th release of their second album, CITY CITY… Chic Alors!
