About Va-et-vient
From 16th century French ballads to kickin' Cajun tunes to the driving podorhythmie (foot rhythms) of Quebecois folk music this group's got it all. The two songbirds up front are Suzanne Germain and Carol Reed who will soooooth you with passionate French vocal harmonies ( they don't call it a romance language for nothing ). Bringing up the instrumentals are the boys; Michael Corn and George Dunne filling up those musical spaces with some fine guitar, mandolin, dobro, flute and diatonic accordions. They have been on scene in New England for three years and are currently working on their first CD with plans for a December 2008 release. They have a growing fan club in their native Vermont which has also extended into Québec since their Canadian debut performance in April 2006. Their repertoir continues to grow and now consists
of nearly sixty songs and tunes collected from many different sources of French culture, each uniquely presented with a distinctive Va-et-Vient arrangement.
