artist Camaromance

The subjects of love, life, and death are all dealt with in an elegant fashion in Martine Groulx’s folk-pop compositions, as they reach out and grab listeners, whether she is alone with her guitar or backed up by her musicians.

Her first album, Empty Picture Frames, was released in 2004. At the time, the project was a duo, in which Martine sang alongside Gabriel Rousseau of Chinatown. Following a cross-Canada tour and a few significant hurdles, Martine decided to go it alone. The result? A wellspring of new sounds, new stories, and a fresh direction. As Martine sat down to compose her second album, Different Paths, released November 2006, which Patrick Watson was kind enough to produce. Following this release, she was nominated for Most Unpronounceable Band Name and her song 28 Balloons was nominated for Best Song To Listen to in the Fetal Position by The CBC Radio 3 Bucky Awards 2007.

Camaromance is finishing the recording of her new album The Parade due out at the beginning of 2010. The album is produced by Serge Nakauchi Pelletier and features many great musicians from the Montreal scene.
