Vermont's own Francophone band Va-et-Vient enjoys entertaining audiences with lively and sonorous three-part harmony singing. Irresistible songs from Québec, France, and Cajun Louisiana are accompanied by guitar, fiddle, flute, mandolin, penny whistle, harmonica, and a variety of percussion instruments. Carol Reed, Lausanne Allen, and Suzanne Germain (all from neighboring Addison County) present songs with wry wit and warm-hearted humor, always making sure the audience is included in the song's punch line. Behind every good song is an even better story, one to which everyone can relate, no matter the language! The band loves audience participation, teaching chorus lines and, when space allows, leading traditional dances.
