In less than three years, singer-songwriter Francis Degrandpré has gone from a fireside friend to an accomplished performer, bringing crowds to their feet across the province. With a unique French-language new country sound and a deep, gravelly voice that has nothing to envy the greatest country artists, Francis stands out on the Quebec music scene with his unifying themes of hunting, fishing, nature and good times with friends. In 2023, he won the Félix award for Country Album of the Year at ADISQ, and has been honored three times at the Gala Country for Song of the Year, Contemporary Country Album and Songwriter of the Year.
