Occasionally, the fact that the Canadian province of Quebec is lost in some weird French time warp is a good thing. Take Genticorum for example. It would be impossible to imagine this French/Canadian/folk trio coming from anywhere but Quebec.
Firmly rooted in the soil of their native land, the energetic and original traditional ‘power trio’ also incorporates the dynamism of today’s North American and European folk cultures in their music. They weave precise and intricate fiddle and flute work, gorgeous vocal harmonies, energetic foot percussion and guitar and bass accompaniment into a big and jubilant musical feast. Their distinctive sound, sense of humor and stage presence make them a supreme crowd pleaser.
Genticorum plays this Saturday, October 13, 2012 at 7 PM at Carlsbadistan’s Museum of Making Music. They sing in French. Click here to buy tickets and get more info. Tickets are $25, $20 for members and $18 for students. The MoMM is located at 5790 Armada Dr., in Carlsbad, California.

The Carlsbad Music Festival drums into town September 21-23, 2012 with some old favorites and some new groups as well.
This year’s Festival features everything from the Calder Quartet’s throughly contemporary take on the string quartet to Sara Watkins‘ personal mix of bluegrass, singer-songwriter and pop; from Wu Man’s international take on the traditional Chinese pipa to composer Michael Gordon’s epic and brilliant composition for 6 percussionists playing amplified and tuned 2x4s (yes, from the hardware store), Timber. In short, “adventurous music by the beach.”
With performances in the Carlsbad Train Station, Carlsbad Village Theater, St. Michael’s By The Sea, and the Community center it’s going to be difficult to get away from the sounds of great music in the village. We’re looking most forward to the mellow surf/jazz sounds of The Matson2. Festival passes are available for $85 individual tickets are proved between $10 and $15.
