Myriam Gendron is a Montreal-based singer-songwriter and guitarist, whose hauntingly minimalist style and lyrical depth have carved out a unique niche in contemporary folk music. She emerged on the music scene with her critically acclaimed debut album "Not So Deep as a Well" (2014), where she set Dorothy Parker's sardonic and witty poetry to music. This album established Gendron as a deft interpreter of verse and a musician capable of blending literary richness with melodious simplicity, marking her sound with a timeless quality that nods to the great folk traditions while remaining distinctly original.

Building on that foundation, Myriam Gendron continues to evolve as a musician and artist. Her subsequent releases, which include "Ma délire - Songs of love, lost & found" (2021), showcase her developing repertoire that encompasses both her own compositions and her interpretations of traditional Francophone songs. Her sound ranges from intimate and reflective to more robust and melodic, as she delves into themes of love, melancholy, and the complexities of the human experience. Whether it's through her evocative guitar playing or her gentle, poignant vocals, Gendron's music invites listeners into a space that transcends language and era, making her a captivating figure in the realm of contemporary folk.
