Les Surveillantes is a French-Canadian musical group. Their music integrates many genres, such as folk and indie, and it was inspired from bluegrass.
Contents
They generally mix banjos, guitars and bass with two microphones for the four members. Each member is a singer, instrumentalist, and composer.
History
The four founding members had played in other Franco-Manitoban groups before 2006. They met at 100NONS, an organization for French music in Manitoba. Since their first concerts in Saint-Boniface in Manitoba, Les Surveillantes have been performing all over Canada.
After winning the Festival international de la chanson de Granby public prize and 3 other awards at the Chant'Ouest tour in 2009, the group became more popular at national level. After their success in the Réseau National des Galas de la chanson, the group performed at many festivals, including Coup de Coeur francophone Montreal, and Winnipeg in November 2009, and in 2010 the Festival Vue sur la Relève at Montreal in 2010, the Chicane Albertaine at Nordegg, and the Festival international de la chanson de Granby (out of contest).
Late November 2011, Les Surveillantes announce the leaving of Danielle Burke.
