French poetry evening hosted by Éric Roger. A meeting between poetic succession and authors published by renowned publishers, some see it as a reflection of the "beat generation" of the 70s.

22:00 | Carl Tremblay + Jimmy James
Carl Tremblay - Carl was born on November 30, 1959 in Quebec City. Self-taught artist, he started very young on the blues trail. At the age of 13, he gets his first harmonica, learning this instrument will be on the road by performing jam sessions across Canada, the United States and Europe. After a one-year stint in California, where he plays with acclaimed musicians such as John Belushi, The Blues Brothers, Buddy Miles, Joe Cocker, BJ Franklin, The NBC Orchestra at the Merv Griffin Show, Etta James, Commander Cody and many more, he returns to the eastern United States, more precisely in the state of Illinois where he participates in various shows with Lefty Dizz, Big Mama Thorton, Queen Sylvia Ambrey and several others of the Chicago All Stars.

Jimmy James - Jimmy James, an icon of the blues scene in Quebec, plays a soulful blend of musical styles. Never one to be pegged, his ever evolving sound pushes the limits ofrhythm, blues, jazz, rock, country, fusion, classical and funk. It's a diverse mix for a master guitar player who is both grounded and rocks on the edge of wild. With fingers that move at incredible speeds and a dexterity that seems at odds with his calm and easygoing presence, he is both immensely talented and the guitar player other guitar players love to watch.
