[x] Close

Originally from Saskatchewan, this folk/rock singer-songwriter has worked with groups Folle Avoine and Hart Rouge. Singing in both French and English with her brother and sisters, this adventure spans more than ten years and boasts an impressive list of accomplishments: six albums, several radio hits and many tours across Canada, Europe and the United States.
 

Those who will discover her might wonder why they have never heard of her, and those who know of her will recognise her trademark writing style and the earthy tones of her new album ‘You gotta laugh”, full of strong melodic hooks and powerful performances. She proves she is the quintessential Canadian artist; the bilingual, straight-shooting poet of a prairie girl who has seen the world but who revels in her prairie roots, singing about heartbreak and the thrill of new beginnings; about the refusal to compromise; about fury and forgiveness. Annette Campagne’s new album is smooth and soulful with a hit of big sky country. It is the work of an artist whose mettle has been tested.
