Michel Pagliaro

Michel Pagliaro plays Théâtre Manuvie in Brossard on March 27, 2026. Born in Montreal in 1948, he came up with the late‑60s rock wave, first with Les Chanceliers, then solo with a guitar‑driven sound that shifts naturally between French and English. Early on, his two Pagliaro albums (1971 and 1973) set the tone: compact riffs, clear melodies, choruses that stick. Pag (1976) followed a period of heavy touring across Quebec and the rest of Canada, and his setlists have since balanced studio work with stage energy, keeping a steady line between pop rock, blues shades and a harder edge.

On stage, Pagliaro moves from the lift of Lovin’ You Ain’t Easy to the pulse of J’entends frapper without breaking the flow, revisiting the songs that built his catalogue while leaving room for more melodic turns he’s explored over time. This date at Théâtre Manuvie brings that bilingual repertoire to a focused live format: electric foundations, direct vocals, and hooks designed for the room. In Brossard, the evening leans on familiar titles and deeper cuts alike, tracing a path through decades of rock in a way that feels immediate and unforced.
