From Guillaume Jabbour’s roots in chansonniers music from Québec and France, to Bill Collier’s work as a musician collaborating with many of the east coast’s finest singer/songwriters, and finally to Bill Gossage’s musical culture that draws upon deep roots in the Irish fiddle vernacular, Jabbour is a contemporary roots band.

About
“Bravo! Une belle chanson.”

A love of musical collaboration, Cajun music and travel brought them together. While performing, this group of talented high-energy musicians bridges gaps and draw parallels between the musical genres that inspire their own songwriting. From Guillaume Jabbour’s roots in chansonniers music from Québec and France, to Bill Collier’s work as a musician collaborating with many of the east coast’s finest singer/songwriters, and finally to Bill Gossage’s musical culture that draws upon deep roots in the Irish fiddle vernacular, Jabbour is a contemporary roots band. Having played in various musical projects (Grouyan Gombo, Les Flâneurs, Dave Gossage, La Montagne Secrète), they combined their creative abilities forming a project focused on original works. Expect dramatic waltzes, tales reminiscent of Quebec chansonniers, swinging rhythm and toe-tapping two-steps. Songs with lyrics in french and english.
