Promising websites for the Spring ahead

More good finds on Quebec singers, songwriters and musicians- including great music fan sites! 

1-  PRODUCTIONS 1001 SONS
Here are a few of the artists represented: dark poet and songwriter Roger Tabra, troubadour Marc Hamilton, songwriter-guitarist Michel Fradette, bluesmen John McGale and Rick Hugues: all generations are present.

2-  QUÉBEC EN MUSIQUE
Refreshing commentary growing on a rich repertory (still in construction) of all sorts of Québécois pop, rock, folk and progressive artists/albums. Subjective choices -but an impressive discography none the less- are at the core of this music lover website. FRENCH ONLY.

3-  SONANCES
Beautiful and instructive web page dedicated to avant-garde, contemporary and un-categorizable music from Quebec and abroad... Main interest: connoisseurs can e-mail their critical appreciation of an album or concert or present a favorite subject anytime for the benefit of all.

4-  GINETTE RENO
Maybe the greatest and best-loved singer and personality in all of Quebec's pop music. Even before CÉLINE!!!

And don't forget LA TOILE DU QUÉBEC (in French but with easy to use categories) to accompany you in your search for a good quantity and quality of Québec's music and culture websites!
