23 March 2026 - Thierry Larose - Cantalou

Do I understand every cultural reference in every song I post? Nope.  Especially I don't understand some from Quebec. 

Do you know who does? Quebecois indie singer-songwriter Thierry Larose. 

And I feel like I am missing a cultural reference here. Maybe one of you can tell me what it is.

At any rate, this was the title song from Larose's debut album, cowritten by the artist and a large team, including Charles-Antoine Olivier (who also plays drums on this song) and Alexandre Martel (no joke, he's banging the congas and tambourine here), with whom he won the 2021 SOCAN Songwriting Prize - for a different song, but just to show you that he's got a solid team with strong chops surrounding him. 

I don't care that this song is in French.  I care that it's a great song that would sound in place on any indie radio station. 

This single was from 2021, but he certainly still performs it live, as in this performance from Montreal in 2025. That is NOT Alexandre Martel on tambourine....

I promise you I didn't plan this. I didn't know this performance existed before about five minutes ago. 

Lou-Adriane Cassidy will return.
