Born in Québec and raised in Maine, Josée Vachon shares her Franco-American upbringing through traditional and contemporary folksongs from Québec and Acadia and through her own compositions.
She began singing publicly with the support of the Franco-American Center at the University of Maine, where she discovered others who shared her rich heritage. She quickly gained recognition as a new Franco-American voice through early performances at state festivals in Maine and at schools and parish soirées.
In July 1993, she co-founded the folk group Chanterelle with award-winning fiddler Donna Hébert and singer/guitarist Liza Constable. Ms Vachon has 12 solo recordings to her credit, and continues to perform and record the music that best represents her love of Franco-American culture.
