Andre Marc

Teaches at The Jalopy Theatre and School of Music

André first met as bandmates in La Bottine Souriante, the iconic trad super group which kickstarted Quebec’s folk music revival. Normand is a marvelous singer and accordionist who grew up surrounded by family musicians in Lanaudière, the epicenter of Quebec’s folk scene. As a trio, Le Bruit Court Dans La Ville’s music is deeply-rooted, innovative, nuanced, and spontaneous. André’s meticulous accompaniment and gorgeous vocals complement Normand’s pulsing accordion, grit-and-polish vocals and irrepressible spirit, while Lisa’s fiddle combines soaring harmonies with fiery tunes until dawn learned over years of kitchen visits with old masters.
André, Normand, and Lisa are also very experienced workshop leaders, love sharing the music, and have taught extensively in the U.S. (e.g., Ashokan Northern Week, Champlain Valley Festival, Festival of American Fiddle Tunes).
