LVDN plays pieces composed by members of the group and traditional québecois tunes, sometimes adding elements from pop and jazz.

Simon Beaudry (guitar, bouzouki, voice) and André Brunet (fiddle, foot-tapping, vocals).

Since its inception in August 2002, Le Vent du Nord has enjoyed meteoric success, performing well over 1,800 concerts over 5 continents and racking up several prestigious awards, including a Grand Prix du Disque Charles Cros, two Junos (Canada’s Grammys), a Félix at ADISQ, a Canadian Folk Music Award, and “Artist of the Year” at the North American Folk Alliance Annual Gala.
