"... half-sultry, half-playful and absolutely dynamic." coup de coeur (featured favourite)
24hr-Journal Montreal/Anne-Lovely Étienne.
Summersett is an indie-folk band sprung from the stages of the Montreal theatre scene. Following the release of their first album (2015), Summersett played Pop Montreal, Canadian Music Week, the Fringe and WildSide Festivals, Nuits d’Afriques and Centaur Theatre. They were twice nominated for Greenland Awards for their performances at the Montreal Fringe Music Series. The band performs as a piano/vocal duo or an eight-piece ensemble - their moody songs releasing into lush string and radiant vocal arrangements. Their upcoming album (2020) builds upon the band’s signature earthy intimacy, brushing the worlds of chanson, classical and cabaret.
