With a decade and a half of bringing their special blend of Gypsy jazz and revisited cover songs, Christine Tassan er les Imposteures have made a name for themselves on the music scene. The latest show of these four exquisitely talented musicians brings together some of the best works by Django Reinhardt, Felix Leclerc and American swing composers. With a singular mix of virtuosity, daring and humour, the string and draws inspiration from one artist’s poetry and the other’s swing to weave a rich new musical universe. They’ve expanded their concept to the wonderful swing music of some contemporary “friends” of Django and Felix. They revisited hit songs created by George Gershwin, Louis Prima or Charlie Chaplin and blend them nicely with Django’s beautiful melodies.

Alberta’s JUNO award nominated “Over the Moon” are totally immersed in real cowboy country. Their music is a wild ride from 40’s western swing and Appalachian old time, to cowboy blues, all featuring their meant-to-be vocals and a wide array of acoustic instruments. Suzanne Levesque and Craig Bignell are both award winning multi-instrumentalists and vocalists. After discovering their near perfect lend of voices, often moving people to tears upon hearing them sing together, they stepped over the threshold and Over the Moon was born. Simple and sweet, their music and lyrics have a common thread that speaks of the Canadian West.
