“...a voice which is positively bewitching, and a kind
of Dave Matthews groveiness, but nothing beats seeing
him live.”
-Brenda Boonstra (The Uniter) - The Uniter
"Singer, songwriter, guitarist and passionate about it
all... The moment you mentioned you had a CD I was
like: "I gotta get this guy's CD and have him join us on
our show. It was a pleasure."

PASSION, RHYTHM & MELODY
From Winnipeg's french community emerges bilingual folk-rock poet, Justin Lacroix. A gentle yet fiery soul with a unique pen and a feel for a good groove, this accomplished guitar player and dynamic singer offers up a fresh new sound. Since his introduction to the music scene in 2003, Lacroix has been sharing his original "Funky Folk-Rock" (in French and English) with audiences from coast to coast, becoming increasingly well known for his heartfelt songs, his engaging live concerts and his raw talent.
Winner of the "Gala manitobain de la chanson" (2003 & 2007) and of the "Chant' ouest" (2007) as well as having been selected to participate in the Festival de la chanson de Granby (2007) and the "Festival en chanson Petite-Valle" (2011), Justin Lacroix's long list of shows also include having played from Moncton to Vancouver to Yellowknife, and festivals such as the "Live From The Rock" (Red Rock, ON), the "Festival du voyageur" (Winnipeg, MB) and the "Snow King Festival" (Yellowknife, NWT).
Based out of Winnipeg, this troubadour continues to tread back and forth across the country. Whether with his band, or as a solo, the show is electric, lively and inspiring. A gem well worth discovering.
