Le Winston Band 🇨🇦

‌Le Winston Band is a one-of-a-kind Montreal based ensemble that blends its French-Canadian roots with Zydeco and Cajun music. Since 2012 the group has been sharing their joie de vivre with audiences across North America and Europe. They have performed in France, Belgium, Switzerland, Germany, Holland, Czechia and the United States. As of this year, the group has performed over 600 concerts. Inspired by their many pilgrimages to Louisiana, the group’s album Zig zag Zydeco Zoo was nominated for best world music album at both the ADISQ and GAMIQ galas in 2019. In 2022, their EP Enwèye à Lafayette won best world music album at the GAMIQ gala. That same year, the band recorded Winston Express, a new album filled with original material that was released during the 2023 Mardi Gras festivities in Montreal. United by their shared passion for Zydeco and Cajun music, the five musicians intermingle sassy compositions and their own take on well-known traditional songs from Quebec and Louisiana. The powerful sound of the diatonic accordion supported by a typical “modern zydeco” lineup, electrifies audiences and ensures a party atmosphere that is guaranteed to get you dancing.
