Fire & Smoke

Fire & Smoke (Winnipeg/Montréal) is a bilingual folk-roots partnership uniting exciting harmonies, deft storytelling, and ever-evolving live instrumentation.

Recipients of the CBC/Radio-Canada Phonogramme Prize, Chant'Ouest grand prize winners, semi-finalists at the Festival international de la chanson de Granby, and CBC Canada Live featured artists, the group made it to #5 on Espace Musique’s national Country-Folk chart with “Prends la maison” off their debut EP “Maiden Voyage” (2011).

Since returning from hiatus in 2021 with a sold-out show at Coup de coeur de francophone in Winnipeg and releasing stand-alone single “La route” (2022), the pair have been rolling out their follow-up collection of songs. Find their singles “How It Is” (Feb 17 2023) and “J’arrive pas à croire” (Oct 27 2023) via Exclaim’s the Eh! List, CBC/Radio-Canada, and indie media across-country (Canadian Beats, Stylus Mag, Le Canal Auditif, Rocknfool, and more).

2023 live show highlights include the Winnipeg Folk Festival (MB), Lunenburg Folk Harbour Festival (NS), and official showcases for Folk Music Ontario and Coup de coeur francophone (QC). Their new EP “Constance” (March 22 2024, independent) is available everywhere now.
