| Gaston Gagnon has been involved in the music business since an early age. As a teenager, he learned to play the guitar listening to master guitarists Jeff Beck, Eric Clapton and other greats... Born in Quebec, Gaston joined a wide variety of bands, alternating between rock music and his main love affair… blues. He's the main axis behind the sound of Garolou, a leading folk rock band which already has one gold record to their credit and was voted twice best folk album of the year (ADISQ). Over the years, Gaston has performed with some great bluesmen including Juno award winner Ray Bonneville, harp wizards Jim Zeller and Carl Tremblay, singer Bob Walsh and boogie man Alan Gerber. Performing around the world like the Nyon Folk Festival in Switzerland, the Montreal International Jazz Festival and the prestigious Carnegie Hall in New-York, to name a few, Gaston showed a versatility and sensitivity appreciated by all . As a guitar player, accompanying various artists, he’s opened for John Lee Hooker, B.B. King, Joe Cocker, John Mayall and Johnny Winter. Gaston's guitar shines upon the music not to mention the raw smoky blues voice he delivers in his own songs as well as blues classics. A long recording career and extensive touring in Canada, the USA and Europe, have made Gaston Gagnon what he is today: a consummate gentleman with a unique guitar style. |
