Josée performed for us at Brookhaven Lodge
in our August house concert. She was charming,
witty and sang some of her own songs and truly captivated her
audience. She has also indicated she would love to come to our Lodge
for another performance in November, so for those of you who might
have missed her performance, now is your chance to see her in full
concert. She really is a personable & outstanding performer.

House Concert:
Josée
Conceived
in the beautiful Northwest, Josée Allard's music comes straight from the
heart and takes you into the extraordinary lives of ordinary people that
have inspired her along the way. A French Canadian, from Powell River
B.C., Josée ("Jo-Zay") sings and writes in both official languages of
Canada. Her unique style is described as folk-pop/alternative fused with
dance and ethnic beats. Top that off with a sexy, sultry and
unforgettable voice, Josée has a remarkable talent. Everyone deserves to
be happy, and that message is conveyed through Josée's catchy, melodic
and even breathtaking, songs. If you're not already listening to her
music, you would notice how mature and powerful her voice is. Yet it
softly blends in perfect harmony with her guitar.
Josée has gained a lot of exposure playing open
stage nights and festivals from Victoria to Seattle, she now is based in
Anacortes, WA. Composing and writing a song is one of Josée's
favorite pastimes, second to performing! And why would you want to go
see Josée live? Well, maybe you heard from someone that she was really
good, and you have to find out for yourself... Or, you're in the
mood for something entertaining and want to be swept away. Some say it's
like drinking from the fountain of youth because she has so much energy
on stage. Others say her songs are mesmerizing, they get lost in the
moment. For this more intimate performance, Josée has tapped Yusuf
Kilgore from her band to accompany her with his proficient and melodic
guitar.
7:30pm at Brookhaven Lodge.
