Sylvain Cossette

On February 8, 2026, Théâtre Manuvie in Brossard hosts Sylvain Cossette, a Quebec singer-songwriter who has shaped his own path between pop rock and chanson. Born in 1963 and first heard with the anglophone band Paradox, he stepped into a solo career in the mid‑90s with albums like Comme l’océan and Prendre le temps, balancing intimate ballads and more electric tracks. Humain and Rendez-vous confirmed a pop approach rooted in melody and clear storytelling.

On stage, Cossette moves easily between his original catalogue and the repertoire that has marked him. Since the mid‑2000s he has explored popular standards with the 70s series, reworking Anglo-American hits from that decade within a contemporary pop rock frame. This blend links Quebec songwriting to a broader North American pop culture, without losing the focus on voice and songcraft.

At Théâtre Manuvie, expect a set that connects these two threads: early solo material, later adult-pop cuts, and a selection of thoughtfully rearranged 70s titles. A straightforward live format that highlights the songs, their contours, and the way they travel over time.
