Mike Goudreau - Guitar Singer - Canada, Quebec Event Location: Mont Tremblant Quebec Event Type: Tremblant Blues Festival 30th July 2017

For that special night , Mike Goudreau’s Boppin’ Blues Band (www.MikeGoudreau.com). Goudreau proved to be the perfect backup band for Mitch Woods. Regular readers of this column might recall how much I thoroughly enjoyed Goudreau’s band concert last year at Tremblant Blues, and my opining about Goudreau’s broad and studied knowledge of the genre, as well as the divergent of music he delves into, including covering Louis Jordan swing tunes, are right at the heart of what Mitch Woods brings to the table. Kudos to Goudreau, his superb three-piece horn section, as they are a very well-rounded and rehearsed band.

Mike Goudreau and his band were amazing! People could not stop talking about him and how wonderful his music was.

Mike Goudreau - Guitar Singer - Canada, Quebec Event Location: Hudson Quebec Event Type: Anniversary Party 16th June 2017

Where do I begin? In a nutshell, Mike Goudreau Trio put our event over the top. He communicated with me prior to the event to iron out the details, they arrived promptly to set up, and my guests are still commenting on how wonderful their music was! I used Gig Masters for the first time, and they delivered the best! Mike, you and your group made my parents anniversary party extra special. I told you in person, but once again you did an amazing job. Anyone looking for a talented, reliable, exceptional group for their event should look no further than Mike Goudreau!!! See you at our next family gathering. Your fan and very satisfied client. Review by Ruarri T. FROM HUDSON, QC ON 6/16/2017
