About

A powerful spark plug! That's the perfect way to describe Sara Dufour. The brilliant singer-songwriter from Dolbeau-Mistassini already has an EP and 3 albums to her credit. Since the release of her debut album, “Dépanneur Pierrette” in 2016, she's been touring Quebec and France, piling up honors (ADISQ, SOCAN, SPACQ's André 'Dédé' Fortin award). She has played over 400 shows to a conquered and growing audience, including a performance on the Plains of Abraham on a historic evening with Les Cowboys Fringants during the Festival d'été de Québec in 2023.


In May 2023, Sara Dufour won the SOCAN “Country Music” award. She then set off on a tour of China, sharing her latest album “On va-tu prendre une marche?” with a new audience. This opus was awarded a Félix in the “Album of the Year - Folk” category, and earned her a nomination as “Female Artist of the Year” at ADISQ 2024.


At her live shows, she's an authentic person who makes you want to escape for a while, or at least breathe in freedom for a while. At the wheel of her guitar, she continues to “tap her trail” with her folk'n'roll. She tells stories and takes you along on her adventures, sprinkled with humor and spontaneity, firmly rooted in her roots.
