Quebec’s most sought-after harmonica player, Guy Bélanger is set to release his 6th solo album, Eldorado on October 18 on Bros Records. This long-awaited new release features a mix of original blues songs and instrumental gems that highlight his remarkable melodic touch. Eldorado is another demonstration of the top-notch chemistry Belanger and his band can attain in studio. This brilliant assemblage of original songs also contains a few surprising covers, of note a delta blues version of Prince’s “Sign ‘O The Times” and a joyous rendition of Van Morrison’s “Bright Side of the Road”.

With a storied career that has spanned more than four decades, Belanger has worked with some of Quebec’s biggest names in music and entertainment including, among others, Celine Dion, Cirque du Soleil, and Bob Walsh. He is a two-time Maple Blues Award winner and since 2003 has won 14 Lys Blues awards.

Eldorado is Belanger’s most ambitious album to date; the songs are powerfully emotive with twists at every turn. Eldorado is an invitation to the listener into Guy Bélanger’s musical universe through his marvelous songwriting and the top-notch harmonica playing. The album and its themes are summed up concisely by Belanger. “Eldorado means (for me) “The Quest”. I love the road I ride and the pitfalls only give me the courage to move forward…”

As early as 1974 Guy Bélanger's musical career was heading towards traditional Southern blues. Armed with his harmonica belt, he made friends with fellow Quebec bluesman Bob Walsh who initiated him to the roots of blues and immersed him in the thriving music scene in Quebec City. Over the next few years he would soak up the influences of such blues greats as Muddy Waters, Koko Taylor, Big Mama Thornton, James Cotton and eastern Canada's own Dutch Mason. All of these various influences served to enlarge Guy's musical horizons. He joined forces with Bob Walsh in 1987 playing many live shows and touring Switzerland, France, Canada and Quebec at the Montreal International Jazz Festival for 18 different editions.

In 1995, the popular Quebecois group Les Colocs invited him to record on their album "Atrocetomique". Collaboration with more than 60 Quebec and French artists soon followed. He also participated on 3 projects (Nuba, Wintuk and Viva Elvis!) for Cirque Du Soleil. Guy hooked up with guitarist Claude Fradette in 2003 to record the soundtrack for the film "Gas Bar Blues" which won a Jutra for Best Film Score and the Lys Blues for Album of the Year. Guy and Claude are the team behind the music of the Louis Bélanger film "The Timekeeper" (2009) as well as numerous television scores since then. Guy was awarded a second Jutra in collaboration with composer Benoit Charest for Best Musical Score in Louis Bélanger's 2011 film "Route 132".He will also be a soloist this time, with the music of the film Les Mauvaises Herbes by the same filmmaker in 2016. He also joined Céline Dion's Quebec tour in the summer of 2016 as a special guest!

The first album released under his own stewardship received wide critical acclaim in 2008. This was followed by his second album "Crossroads" in 2010, "Dusty Trails" (2012) "Blues Turn" (2014), and his latest release "Traces & Scars" in 2017. To date, Guy Bélanger has been awarded no less than 14 Lys Blues trophys and won the prestigious "Harmonica Player of the Year" in Canada presented at the Maple Blues Awards in Toronto in January 2014 and the André Gagnon Award 2016 (instrumental music category) presented by SPACQ, Guy is forging ahead!

Quebec harmonicist Guy Bélanger returns with a new album, the seventh of his career. The composer proposes a record made in full tumult, while he lived great victories, but also profound mournings. There are ten instrumental pieces between blues and folk, as well as two songs, one of which sung by Luce Dufault ("Who's Left Standing").

Bélanger is accompanied by leading musicians whom he met on his travels and tours, such as cellist Eric Longsworth and guitarist Preston Reed. He is also accompanied by two musicians he met while he was a guest musician on Céline Dion's recent Quebec tour: guitarist Kaven Girouard and percussionist Paul Picard. Traces & Scars is a soft and luminous album that Guy Bélanger dedicates to his friend Bob Walsh, who disappeared in 2016.
