In 16 years, De Temps Antan has performed over 1000 concerts in 18 countries (North America, Europe, Russia, Malaysia), produced four critically acclaimed albums ( Traditional Album of the Year in 2014 ( Ce monde ici-bas) & 2018 (Notre album SOLO) at ADISQ,nominations for the Canadian Folk Music Awards etc.) and produced several important professional showcases including APAP 21, Folk Unlocked 21, RIDEAU 2019, FOLK ALLIANCE 2019, BABEL MED, WOMEX and the PAY.

The trio of virtuosos is taking trad music to the next level with their fifth album Pesant, to be released in the fall of 2021.
