The band
Rosier, a bilingual, female-fronted, Montreal-based collective, perfectly embodies the expression “between tradition and modernity.” With a strong ethereal, poetic, and dreamy inclination, the quintet brings a unique touch to today’s indie-folk scene. Their repertoire of modernized traditional folk songs highlights female voices expressing contemporary values while remaining rooted in their origins, blending indie sounds with pop influences.
The close-knit band of Rosier has been performing together for over a decade, formerly known as Les Poules à Colin. They have played in more than fifteen countries worldwide, released five albums, including the 2021 album Légèrement, and garnered four major nominations, including one at the ADISQ Gala and three at the Canadian Folk Music Awards. This fall, the group releases Elle Veille Encore, an introspective album exploring the maternal spirit in an ethereal folk universe tinged with dream-pop and indie-rock.
Accustomed to both local and international tours since their inception, the quintet has performed in major cities worldwide. Events such as the SXSW, Edmonton Folk Festival, TSB Festival Of Lights (New Zealand), Rocky Mountain Folks Festival (USA), Port Fairy Folk Festival (Australia), Tonder Folk Festival (Denmark), Festival Pause-Guitare (France), Bardentreffen Festival (Germany), Itinerari Folk Festival (Italy), Bromyard Folk Festival (UK), Edinburgh Fringe Festival (Scotland), and the Jeux de la Francophonie in Abidjan (Ivory Coast), to name just a few, have hosted their performances.
