Le Trio BBQ was co-founded in the spring of 2004 by Jean-Michel Bérubé and Mathieu Beaudet. First inspired by the late Django Reinhardt, the project soon became the official BBQ tRiO due to this fortunate pair-up with bassist Vincent Quirion! However, the trio turned into a quartet when singer LadyKate D joined in a year later. Proclaimed “coup de coeur” at the 2006 FGMAT* festival, the band has been touring ever since in Québec, France and Belgium where the band was invited to perform in django’s hometown for its 100th anniversary in 2010!
