This six-member band coming from all corners of Acadia carries a rich heritage of musical traditions rooted in their longstanding generations. Blending modern and traditional instruments, they skillfully captivate their audience with this famous joie de vivre Acadians are so well known for. Beauxmont emerged through the tides of the Bay of Fundy, carrying songs and stories from a past intimately connected between Acadians and their Cajun cousins. A shared resilience evoking anthems of determination, pain, celebration, and hope, all seasoned with a distinctly Acadian flavour and a Cajun, country twist.

Their music, often heard at the camp or in kitchen parties, from Memramcook to Grand Barachois, behind the church or after bingo at Edgar’s place, resonates with this group from New Brunswick. Wielding accordion, fiddle, washboard, guitars, and drums with skill, they carved out a special place in the world of traditional music, captivating their audience with contagious energy that will ease your soul and let the good times roll.

With a debut album drawing attention in the francophone commercial radio scene, the group is pleased to receive equal recognition in anglophone markets. They were notably on stage in the UK for the largest folk festival in Glasgow in January 2024.
