"The first stunner is that this Portuguese-sounding angel with perfect diction, as if singing from a beachside cafe in Rio de Janeiro, is actually Ottawa-based French-Canadian vocalist Rachel Beausoleil..."

Thanks again to the Ontario Arts Council!

I’m honoured to share that I’ve received a grant from the Ontario Arts Council to support the creation of 6 new songs in French this summer.

I’m going to be quiet for a little while as I work on this project, feeding my little corner of the world with new music. I hope it comes your way.

Please send me your good vibes!

Just in the nick of time for Christmas, there is a new single out that I know you will love!

The links:

That’s Christmas / C’est Nöel

Facebook livestream video release

Download the song for free on Bandcamp

There will be a one-time opportunity to view the video on the big screen at the Mayfair theatre on Bank Street, Ottawa, where the video was produced. It will be part of a sixty-minute ‘seasonal sing-along session’ led by Chris White on Saturday afternoon, Dec. 21 at 1:30 pm. Tickets are $5 at the door, but anyone who says ‘That’s Christmas’ when they arrive will be admitted free!

The OAC is supporting the recording of my next album, Sol da Capital! This album of originals will make good on a project that began when guitarist-composer Evandro Gracelli was in Ottawa a dozen years ago!

Performances in Canada and Brazil have kept the music alive. And more songs have been added thanks to long-distance work over the internet.

The nudge we needed came when the Ottawa Music Industry Coalition required original music for my Encore Ottawa 2021 performance. Three of the songs I performed will end up on the 2022 Sol da Capital album!

So looking forward to finally recording this material! Thank you, thank you, thank you, Ontario Arts Council!!

In case you missed it the first time (or even if didn’t!), you can now view my Encore Ottawa performance from the fall of 2020. So very grateful to all partners: Ottawa Music Industry Coalition (OMIC), the Shenkman Arts Centre, RogersTV and Apt613! Merci, merci, merci!!
