High energy rock band
Deux voix, une guitare acoustique, un répertoire de plusieurs chansons populaires (et peut-être des joyaux méconnus); voici ce qui vous attend avec Chanté et Kev. Ce duo formé en 2018 a peaufiné leur spectacle sur plusieurs scènes dans la région de l’Outaouais, après avoir passé des années avec d’autres groupes et projets musicaux (la scène n’est pas un mystère pour ces deux). Les deux combinent leurs talents pour vous offrir des soirées mémorables en musique chez vous!
Break out your dancin’ shoes! Little Miss Taken is a high-energy 5-piece Ottawa rock band covering great songs from the 70s, 80s and more! Pop, rock, disco, soul…LMT has got you covered. This is the band’s third appearance at the FunFair and they are always a hit. Don’t miss this band!
SOS Band – The ABBA Experience is a band you don’t want to miss! With decades of professional experience among its members, they recreate the music of ABBA as closely as possible to the original studio recordings with no backing tracks. The appreciation of the Swedish pop phenom’s groove and unique vocal style is clearly evident in this group’s performances. From the killer vocals and harmonies classic to Agnetha and Frida, the intricate piano and rhythmic guitar of Benny and Bjorn, to the rich backup vocal layers performed by the other talented members, this ten-piece band will deliver an authentic experience like no other!
