Main Stage
The Winston Band is a unique Montreal band that fuses rock with zydeco, Cajun and French-Canadian influences. Inspired by different music from French-speaking America, the quintet mixes cultures and eras seamlessly to create a doubly “original” sound, one that is both focused on its chosen roots and on a national stage where it stands out. The band’s repertoire includes many compositions as well as traditional pieces from Louisiana, Quebec and elsewhere. The powerful sound of the diatonic accordion, supported by a typical formation of “new zydeco,” electrifies the audience and ensures a warm and festive atmosphere perfect for dancing.
De Saint-Boniface à Hollywood, en passant par Toronto et Montréal, Micheline mène une longue et fructueuse carrière. En tant qu’humoriste, comédienne et animatrice, cette Franco-Manitobaine compte une quinzaine de saisons de télé, au-delà de 250 épisodes.
Dans les dernières années Micheline a participé à la captation télé D’un rire à l’autre co-produite par Juste pour rire et UNIS.tv. De plus, on peut voir sur TFO et YouTube les capsules humour Guide Micheline des F.H.Q, qui comportent une série de sketchs et de vox pop, incluant ses personnages fétiches tels que Chantal Hébert analyste politique et autres personnages francos hors Québec. Depuis une quinzaine d’années, Mlle Marchildon remplit les salles de spectacles des festivals comme le Festival de l’humour de Winnipeg, le CBC Winnipeg Comedy Festival, et les Fringe Festivals de Montréal, Winnipeg et Toronto.
Depuis la pandémie, Micheline fait des spectacles virtuels. Elle offre 45 minutes de son spectacle solo FRENCH’ER HORS QUÉBEC, ou FHQ!
