Mike Goudreau Jazz Band

Mike Goudreau presents : "Look For The Sunshine": Featuring original songs, not to mention one song sung in French, "La Gentille Fille", co-written with Michel Aubin. Whether it's a Sinatra-style crooner, groovy instrumental, dreamy bossa-nova, romantic ballad, New Orleans-style Dixieland or a finger snappin' blues, everyone from the most particular connaisseur to the jazz newbie will be enchanted with this eclectic mix of jazz.

Over the past two decades Mike has performed at hundreds of events and some of the most prestigious Jazz and Blues Festivals in Eastern Canada including a record number 10 appearances at the Montreal International Jazz Festival, among many others. He's also accompanied many artists over the years including harmonica legend Lee Oskar ( Of the band War ) as well as international artists: Roch Voisine, Garou and Corneille and many more. When asked why he plays both jazz and blues Mike replies: "I get bored doing just one type of music. I love jazz for its beautiful melodies, chords, and improvisation. I love blues for its energy, soul and milking its three-chord structure. I enjoy playing rock 'n roll too. But no matter what music I play it has to SWING!"
