“…jazz, folk, spoken word, experimental; even the limitations of language seem to present no bounds, as she can seamlessly move between French and English…”
Ariane has a real left brain/right brain thing going on - except that one side is English and the other side is French and somewhere in the middle is a tasty bowl of poutine and a glass of red wine. Take off your shoes, come on in and enjoy the delicious mind of Ariane Mahryke Lemire.
