JONATHAN AND LOUISE ARSENAULT
Jonathan Arsenault is a modern day clown. on first glance yu may wonder how people can take his music seriously… until you hear him play.
He started playing the violin but developed a love for acoustic guitar and any other instrument he comes across.
His performances recall the musical improvisations of evenings among friends. He will make you laugh, but also cry with his traditional, classic rock and country songs. He always finds a style to please everyone.
Louise Arsenault has had a long career among the band Barachois, Les girls and Gadelle. With the band Barachois, she performed in 15 countries. She also plays with her son, Jonathan Arsenault. She still currently plays with the group Gadelle and she is part of a summer theatre troupe during July and August at the musical village at Abram village, on Prince Edward Island.
Traditional music has always been in Louise Arsenault’s family. Her father also played the violin. It all started when she was 7 years old. Today, the tradition continues with her children. There’s nothing like music! They say it’s like a good medicine!!
