Spectacle Benny Jones - Le Barachois
“I grew up with the woods behind me and the sea in front of me… But above all, I was lucky enough to grow up surrounded by people… real people! People who told me their stories. Come rain or shine… And over time, I decided to turn all those stories into songs… Because songs help us remember the past and imagine a future… But above all, they’re a way to bring a little magic to the present.”
Winner of the 2019 Étoile Stingray Award, singer-songwriter Benny Jones burst onto the Francophone music scene in 2020 with his debut album *Parcequ’il m’arrive*.
Originally from Gaspé but now living on the Magdalen Islands, Benny Jones travels across the province to meet audiences, sing his stories, and share his songs. With a wealth of stage experience—including opening for 2Frères and touring with ROSEQ—he is notably the recipient of the Réseau des Grands Espaces and RADARTS awards at the 2023 ROSEQ Fall Festival.
Produced by Martin Hogan, Benny presents his new album, “Petit album d’automne… d’hiver,” whose first singles, “Dehors” and “Best of de toi,” shot to the top of the French-language iTunes charts upon their release and received heavy radio airplay.
