Bio
The musical project The Banjo Consorsium debuted in Sherbrooke, in the Eastern Townships during the winter of 2005. In the beginning, the Banjo Consorsium sound, known as folktronic or neofolk, was created by multi-instrumentalist Jacques-Philippe Lemieux-Leblanc. This artist plays a variety of instruments (guitar, banjo, lap steel, bass, mandolin, accordion, violin, violoncello, flute, piano, percussions, xylophone, etc.) before recording and producing his musical pieces in his home-based studio. The Banjo Consorsium began as a solo project with an ambient and introspective vibe. The recorded pieces evoke comfort, hope and open spaces.
By using the Internet as its main delivery vehicle, the band received a certain amount of international recognition following . As for the bandâs career in Quebec, The Banjo Consorsium has signed with the independent Sherbrooke-based record label 9.12 records, who also represents bands from across Canada
