Les Poules à Colin, a group from Quebec, Canada, will give a concert on Wednesday, July 13, at 7:30 p.m. at the Empire State Railway Museum, 70 Lower High St., Phoenicia.

Age-old traditions are enlivened by the exuberance of youth when Les Poules à Colin perform. The ages of the group’s members range from 19 to 24. They have been playing together for seven years, touring across North America as well as Europe. Natives of Lanaudière, renowned as Quebec’s most musical region, the four women and one man who comprise Les Poules à Colin each come from parents who themselves are celebrated traditional musicians. Throughout their journey they remain close, a sister and brother and three childhood friends who all still live on the same street, sharing a history of music-making and family ties.

Les Poules à Colin’s sound is a seamless blend of their strong folk upbringing and North American influences that range from old-time to jazz, with some provocative and moody effects that serve to deepen their spell. The group’s members, draw from a repertoire that is a mix of original and traditional pieces, primarily in French but with some English compositions, all of which reveal gorgeous vocal, instrumental and rhythmic prowess. Penguin Eggs, billed as Canada’s folk, roots and world music magazine, calls the group’s music “profoundly traditional but completely open to current trends.”

Doors open at 7 p.m.

Admission is $17 or $15 with an RSVP to flyingcatmusic@gmail.com.
