(GRANBY) Pascal Gauthier l’avoue: il est nerveux, fébrile. Samedi soir, Jean Sébastien Lavoie, Martin Moerman et lui entameront une tournée qui les mènera un peu partout au Québec. Et ça commence ici, à Granby.
«Commencer une tournée devant ses parents, ses amis et ceux qui te supportent depuis des années, c’est une bonne raison d’être sur les nerfs!», lance le ténor waterlois en riant de bon coeur.
Pascal Gauthier et ses deux acolytes ont lancé Trois, un album éponyme, à la fin de l’hiver dernier. Et le temps est venu de présenter leurs chansons de pop-lyrique au public.
«Je suis très, très fier de commencer la tournée au Palace. Jocelyn Lemoine m’a fait un merveilleux cadeau en nous offrant de présenter notre tout premier spectacle chez moi, dans ma région. Ça, c’est quelque chose que je n’oublierai jamais.»
Pascal a chanté une fois et puis une autre au Palace. Mais la plupart du temps, c’était dans le cadre de concerts-bénéfices. En fin de semaine, les gens qui seront sur place auront payé pour le voir et l’entendre lui, pas juste pour appuyer une bonne cause.
La suite dans l’édition de jeudi.

“Stop!” is a TV show on Videotron’s community cable network Vox (channel 9) out of Granby, and features young local musicians from the area playing different genres of music.
For the past three years “Stop!”, produced by Radio Communautaire Missisquoi (RCM / CIDI 99.1 FM) in conjunction with Télévision Communautaire de Waterloo, has presented 18 bands to date in a televised battle of the bands. The criteria for becoming a contestant are: the artist has to be an independent artist, perform original compositions and be able to play live in studio in front of TV cameras.
This year, from the beginning of September right up until the third week of December, the producers of “Stop!” will be presenting for the first time the “Stop!” piano competition. The show will feature six classically trained piano students from the area vying for $1, 000 of scholarship prize money for the benefit of furthering their musical education; 1st place $500, 2nd place $350 and 3rd place $150. There will also be a public choice award decided by people who go to Radio Communautaire Missisquoi’s website (www.rcmmedia.org) and place their votes in an online voting booth.
As a child, living in Montreal all winter and coming to the cottage in the Townships each summer, I well remember the Chagnon truck coming by every week. In those days, many mothers would come to the country house in the summer with their children while the fathers remained in the city to work and only arrived on weekends, so all we had in the meantime was the bakery truck and the Chagnon truck during the week. We certainly looked forward to that!
Chagnon Dairy in Waterloo is most definitely a neighbourhood company and community-minded enterprise. Founded by Jacques Chagnon in 1954, and with only four employees at the time, the fledgling business collected milk from local farms and delivered it by horse and buggy house to house.
