THE BATTLEFORDS — Christine Tassan et Les Imposteures will bring their unique gypsy jazz music style to the Dekker Centre Nov. 2. Initially set to come to the Dekker Centre in March, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, they were postponed until November.
“Christine Tassan is a female-driven band, and it’s really, really fun.” says centre manager Kali Weber, who encourages everyone to buy tickets and hear something they may not have heard before.
“Oh, my goodness, it’s so fun and lively, and I think it’s very unique.”
The band revisits hit songs created by George Gershwin, Louis Prima and Charlie Chaplin.
Online, they call themselves “True pioneers in a field usually reserved for men and precursors of the gypsy wave that swept over Quebec. Four musicians reinvent and adapt to all sorts of new ideas.”
The four musicians include: Christine Tassan - solo guitarist; Martine Gaumond – violinist; Blanche Baillargeon - double bassist; and Jeff Moseley - rhythm guitarist.
Tickets can be purchased at the Dekker Centre’s website, at the box office or over the phone at 306-445-7702
