Claimed by festival-goers, David Kushner was the star of the day 2 of Cicada in Baie-de-Beauport. Chicago’s guy, a big catch of this fourth edition, confirmed that the billions of accumulated listenings were founded and that he is not a straw fire.

A superb. Saturday, loaded, with great heat and eight services. The jerseys and sunscreen were in order.

Listening to the songs of his first opus Dichotomy, launched last summer, you could have little doubts about their effect in cicada mode. His Gothic pop is, let’s say, rather dark and introspective.

The author, composer and 24 -year -old performer, star of Tiktok, is a kind of male version of Lana Del Rey. There is a kind of “spleen” present in his songs that reminds a lot of the music of the New York. Accompanied by a guitarist, a drummer and bass tracks, David Allan Kushner II was welcomed by a salvo of female cries.

“Your energy is incredible. It’s like that every time I come here, “he said afterwards Burried at Sea and the traditional “Olé, Olé, Olé” chanted by festival -goers.

A title which indicating that the one who now resides in California will not be a straw fire. The songs are strong and they are there. He now has to add a little coating for the scenic side.

Jonathan Roy

True to his habit, Jonathan Roy offered a quality performance with his alternative pop rich in musicality. It was the total with four musicians and two excellent choristers.

White camisole, tattooed arm, hair toque, smoked glasses, which he removed and barefoot on the boards, the author, composer and performer offered rich sounds for the Waiting for a call, Pulling Away, Looking for Satellites, Hate that i love you and others.

“What’s up Quebec?” “, He launched, in English, to recover, a few songs later, in French.

People often have a smile when they refer to the artist’s status of the ex-Garden of the ramparts, but the guy, must say, always delivers the goods. It is not super festive, but it worked perfectly in the super decor of the edge of the river, with an orange full moon in the sky.

Michael Samba

He was 29 degrees, when Mike Clay and his alter Ego Michael Samba settled, in lightness, on the boards to launch day 2 of cicada.

At the festive! From Baie-Saint-Paul, a few weeks ago, he played on the balcony of a residence. This time it was on the edge of the river. A very different scenario of three years ago, where Clay and Friends had played in Dilluvian rain.

With his trumpet, his piano-flute, his guitar, his sound curls and his improvisations, Mike Clay put the table with the Catherine, Marilouwith his piano notes at La Doors, Advil and Tequila, Leclerc, Renaud et Fruit truck, from his solo adventures. Skilled and quickly on the trigger, he offered some lively and fun improvisations and he was looked for festival -goers, few, at this hour, one by one.

Laurence Nerbonne

The experienced Laurence Nerbonne continued by building on what Mike Clay had just set up.

The author, a 40-year-old composer and performer, ex-Morpheus hotel, delivered, accompanied by three musicians and sometimes two dancers, her urban pop with conviction.

She even offered herself a guitar solo on her knees during Cowgirlpart that she co-written with her idol Mitsou.

After around forty minutes, we felt, at the end of the performance, a small vacuum. In my mind, radio, Just fell well.

The family

After Zagata and the American Michael Margagi, Valaire launched, a little slowly, his turn on the boards. With I Wanna, the Sherbrookois collective started scoring points. It has become dancing and very festive. In the middle of what to do.

Mike Clay came to join the family with regard to their latest Valaire summer show.

Overflowing with energy, Phillipp Phillips left his time on stage with an explosive version of Get Up Get Down.

“You certainly don’t want to see me without a sweater. It’s disgusting, ”he said.

One of the author’s forces, a 34 -year -old American composer and interpreter is to boost his folk rock with long jams. It explodes, there are guitar solos and it’s very electric at times.

Phillip Phillips put an end to his performance with his fun rereading, a little too stretched, of Thriller by Michael Jackson. One of the good musical performances of the day.

The 2025 edition of the Cigale event ends Sunday with Clodelle, Elliot Maginot, Fuso, Walk off the Earth, Dylan Marlowe, P’tit Belliveau, Mark Ambor and Foster the People.
