Claude Dubois

Claude Dubois returns to the stage with a set anchored in Quebec’s chanson tradition at Théâtre Manuvie in Brossard on April 26, 2026. Active since the mid‑60s in Montreal, the singer-songwriter grew out of the boîtes à chansons and yé‑yé scene to shape a more personal writing style, carried by a distinctive voice and arrangements where acoustic guitars, tight rhythm sections and shades of blues or reggae quietly find their place.

Known to many for his role in the 1978 rock opera Starmania, where he sang Le blues du businessman, Dubois has since built a repertoire that spans studio albums, live recordings and constant touring in Quebec and the francophone world. On stage, he moves between narrative songs and introspective ballads, stories drawn from everyday life and more rhythmic pieces, letting the text lead without overplaying the effect. An evening to hear a body of songs that has traveled across decades, in a direct, unadorned format that suits him well at Théâtre Manuvie in Brossard.
