Put simply, J\u00e9r\u00e9mie & The Delicious Hounds are new-age fosterers of soul music. They are, however, bringing it with a twist. The band is from the old French quarter of St Boniface, Winnipeg, the largest \"J<\/a>French speaking population in Western Canada, and they are cementing their identity as bi-lingual artists with a unique double EP release: the self-titled English 4-song EP, and another 4-songs on their French EP, TITLE. J\u00e9r\u00e9mie Br\u00e9mault\u2019s smooth, smoky voice, and earnest stage presence wrings that authentic soul sound into the group\u2019s wide-ranging style. They call it the \u201cdelicious sound\u201d \u2013 say it fast enough and you\u2019ll hear where these crafty musicians get their name.<\/span><\/p>\n

Manitoba\u2019s French media have been following J\u00e9r\u00e9mie since his emergence onto the music scene. With no prior performing experience, he won \u201cSt. Boniface Idol\u201d in 2013. Gathering around Jeremie\u2019s natural talent, he was able to hand pick his favorite musicians from the scene, and they have been buzzing ever since. After being featured on French Radio (Radio-Canada, Envol) and French newspaper (La Libert\u00e9), in 2016 they performed live on Radio at the French language musical gala \u201cLes D\u00e9couvertes\u201d, where they won the public\u2019s choice and a headlining slot at the 2017 Festival du Voyageur, Western Canada\u2019s largest winter festival. They performed for TV on two occasions: live with Shaw TV, and were also featured on UnisTV\u2019s national French television program \u201cUnis par le chant\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

2017 has already seen the band begin to expand further on the national scale. They performed a bilinqual set at the City of Victoria\u2019s New Year\u2019s Eve Canada 150 celebration in front of thousands. Victoria\u2019s French radio station has already caught on and started playing their English EP in anticipation of the official release, April 15th, 2017. They have 2 national performances planned to promote the release \u2013 \u201cFestival Folk et Guitares d\u2019Aylmer\u201d in Gatineau, Qu\u00e9bec in June, and \u201cLa F\u00eate Fransaskoise\u201d in Saskatchewan in July. Monteal\u2019s \u201cSoci\u00e9t\u00e9 pour l\u2019avancement de la chanson d\u2019expression fran\u00e7aise (SACEF)\u201d have awarded J\u00e9r\u00e9mie with a slot in their program, \u201cDu Haut des Airs\u201d, in September 2017. The Hounds are excited to work towards a successful release with more performances around Canada and Manitoba in progress.<\/span>
