P'tit Belliveau

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

P'tit Belliveau is the stage name of Jonah Guimond, an Acadian and Canadian folk and country musician, originally from Clare, Nova Scotia[1] and currently based in Moncton, New Brunswick.[2] He is most noted for his 2020 album Greatest Hits Vol. 1, which was longlisted for the 2020 Polaris Music Prize.[3]

Guimond began making electronic music as a teenager, with his music evolving toward country after he was given a banjo by his grandfather.[1] Although now more based in bluegrass, his style still incorporates some synthesizers and drum machines.[1]

With his band Les Grosses Coques, he was a finalist in the 2019 edition of the Francouvertes.[4] Greatest Hits Vol. 1, his debut album, was released in March 2020.[5]
