Quebecois Folk
“The three musicians form a solid, inventive, nuanced group. They are tightly knit, too, both literally and figuratively. The trio delves into the deep esthetics of the music, then sets the groove. The modernity of the Lambert Rondeau Gauthier Trio is anything but flashy. They are more concerned with weaving contemporary textures, with lively arrangements and lots of play between the musicians, who subtly and briefly stray from the well-beaten path of traditional music.” Alexandre Vigneault, La Presse
