Main Stage
Veranda are from Montreal and have the distinction of playing Bluegrass in English and French. We got to see Veranda play on the International Stage at IBMA WOB in Chattanooga last September. They immediately captivated us with their eclectic and dynamic performance of Bluegrass that shows clear respect for old country roots and a love of exploring modern sounds, with a strong desire to inject humour into their set to make sure the audience has a good time.
When they told us they were thinking of building a tour to Europe in the summer, we jumped on the opportunity to bring them to La Roche, where the French speaking audience will appreciate their unique brand of Canadian Bluegrass.
