September 2nd: Jazz Under the Moon in Les Bergeronnes

Quinos presents the world premiere of their 5th album "Le temps que les maisons s'écroulent" (The Time Houses Collapse) at Jazz Under the Moon in Les Escoumins. This album is the result of extensive summer work recorded in the woods between Laterrière and La Baie, created in support of the victims of the landslides in Saguenay during the summer of 2022. It is also likely that they will play some tracks from their very first album "Lune de Miel" (Honeymoon) for the occasion.
