Pull together paddlers! Canadian Quebecois trio Genticorum to play the Iron Horse on June 15th


Quebecois trio Genticorum will tour the United States and Canada to present their new album tiled Nagez Rameurs (“Pull Together, Paddlers!”). 

Band members include Yann Falquet on guitar, jew’s harps, vocal; Alexandre de Grosbois-Garand on wooden flute, bass, fiddle, Vocal; and Pascal Gemme on foot percussion, fiddle, vocal.
