Lynda Lemay
The journey promises miles of intense emotions. “La onzième folie” races along at breakneck speed. Lynda Lemay drives fast and skillfully. She knows where she’s going, and she’s going where no one else has gone before. Deep into the paths of the heart.
Lynda knows all the shortcuts between laughter and tears. In her eleventh madness, grief rides right on top of euphoria. The artist sums up entire lives in a few verses better than ever before. Verses she scatters everywhere, and yet, never a verse too many. In her wild rush, she leaves the audience no time to catch their breath. Sobs are hard to hold back, throats burn then open wide, laughter bursts forth.
Flanked by her two companions, Claude Pineault (guitar/piano) and Marc Angers (violin/mandolin), in lighting as talkative as the singer herself (Pierre Roy on lighting), Lynda shines. With a radiance that never fades. Whether she’s stringing together hits from another decade or unleashing her latest poetry, Lynda Lemay is as… unique as ever. “La onzième folie” suits her perfectly.
