Gab Bouchard

Between Lac‑Saint‑Jean and Montreal, Gab Bouchard shapes a francophone rock‑song universe where indie energy meets more intimate melodies. A Québec singer‑songwriter, Bouchard drew attention in the late 2010s on the independent scene, backed by the Bravo musique label and a run of concerts in venues and festivals across the province. His debut album, “Triste pareil” (2020), set out a direct writing style focused on relationships, doubts, and everyday life, against a backdrop of electric guitars, understated keyboards, and mid‑tempo grooves. With “Grafignes” (2022), Bouchard leans further into the rock side, with denser arrangements, a pronounced rhythmic drive, and at times a more upfront tone, while retaining a pop‑song sensibility. In the studio as on stage, he relies on a tight‑knit group drawn from Montreal’s indie scene, grounding his songs in a band sound while keeping a distinctive personal signature.
