About

Plume Latraverse is a prolific singer, musician, songwriter and author from Quebec. Over the course of his career, he has written nearly 300 songs, combining satire, poetry and social commentary. At the end of the 1960s he formed a band named La Sainte Trinité with Pierrot le fou and Pierre Landry. Then he formed a duo with Steve Faulkner (1972–1975). They performed for the last time at the Chant'Août in Quebec City. In 1976, Plume started a solo career and became one of the most influential names in Quebec counterculture. During a European tour (1979–1980) he staged a show during Le Printemps de Bourges and won the Prime Minister of France's Prize and the Pop-Rock prize for the best songwriter from Quebec. In 1982 he worked with Offenbach and produced the album À fond d'train. After his filmed biography, Ô rage électrique, Plume presented a farewell of sorts named Show d'à diable in 1984, after which he brought his singing career to a halt, focusing on painting and writing, before reappearing in 1990. He published many of his songs, texts and storybooks.
