Chantal Marie began her musical career in Quebec in 1982, performing in many popular cafés and bistros. She is passionate about story songs linked to legends, Canadian and medieval folklore, and her musical influences include Francis Cabrel, Garolou, Michel Fugain, Gordon Lightfoot and Joan Baez. Chantal Marie's popularity in the community is due to her original interpretations of popular French-speaking music. Chantal Marie's vocals and guitar playing create a rich, harmonious sound, which pairs well with her 6 or 12 string Martin guitars. While living in Quebec, she continued to immerse herself in the world of French music, expanding her repertoire. In the mid-80s, Chantal Marie moved to Yellowknife to work in the Canadian Arctic on the Ice Route and continued to perform at various musical venues in Yellowknife and Inuvik. She brought French songs to a new, remote region, with guitarist/singer Robert Auger featured on the recording of the new album "Destinations". She also met John McGale, guitarist, singer and songwriter of the Offenbach group in 1983, and has remained in contact with him over the years.

Chantal Marie has already published “Roads, Paths and Tales” with “The Road Band” a collection of classic Canadian folk, French and Roots songs. We hope you enjoy the music of Chantal Marie and L'Onde Sonore. Please look for us on the club and festival circuit.
