Guillaume Arsenault

Guillaume Arsenault, a singer-songwriter from the Gaspé Peninsula, has been an artist for over 20 years, making song his medium of expression. With six albums and two EPs to his credit, he offers an intimate, poetic body of work deeply marked by the vast expanse of the Gaspé Peninsula that surrounds him. His songs, like waves, unfold with a rhythm that is sometimes staccato, sometimes restrained, conveying both his strength and his sensitivity. Driven by a constant thirst for reinvention, the artist maintains a contemplative perspective on life. He writes for beauty, without ambition, seeking to capture small sonic gems in his folk songs. This desire for purity in music is what defines his work, where each note seems to breathe like an ode to freedom.

Guillaume presents a new show, “Plants Keep Growing Even When You Sleep,” featuring his most recent songs from the EPs of the same name (Side A and Side B), as well as a selection from his repertoire.
