Lapointe to rock Traversée opening

May 16, 2013

Magog

After a disappointing 2012 and rumblings about its future, the revamped Traversée Internationale du lac Memphrémagog will kick off this year’s edition with a concert by Quebec rock superstar Eric Lapointe.
Lapointe, well-known for his intense live shows and his “bad boy” edge will take to the Loto-Québec main stage at Merry Point on Thursday, August 1, kicking off the endurance race’s 35th anniversary.
The show will be Lapointe’s only appearance in the region this summer.

Please see the TALK section of the May 17 weekend edition of The Record for the complete story.

Country Connection: Haggard brought his pure country to Quebec

“Sing a little bit of these workin’ man blues” is just what living legend Merle Haggard 76, did last Friday night at The Complexe Sportif in Kahnawake, Quebec. Many Townshippers were there and quite a few have been asking how it was!
I have to say it was a great show and remind you that few artists have had impact on their musical genre the way Merle Haggard has. It was clear that the people in attendance were not just there to attend the concert of a fashionable country artist; they were there to see and hear an idol, a legend, Merle Haggard the poet of the common man.

STOP! TV: FaceBook, small fish, big pond

Richard Semmelhaack lives in Shefford, not too far from South Stukely and Frost Village, where he’s been working on the family farm full time since he graduated McGill in 1996 with a bachelor of commerce degree.
I first met Richard when I went to tune his piano at the family homestead in 2006, and soon discovered that we shared, and still share, similar interests. Before he knew it, the organic farmer/musician had become a TV host.
“You signed me up to the idea of helping out local bands trying to promote their original music,” explains Richard. He is still a STOP! crew member today.
