The LeBlanc Family performs 19th century tunes deeply rooted in Celtic and Acadian traditions and mostly unknown to other Celtic nations like Ireland, Brittany and Scotland, to name a few. With their three daughters who play the concertina, whistle and violin, the mother sings some of the oldest Acadian songs and ballads accompanied on the piano by baroque, jazz and traditional arrangements played by the father.
