Hi Everyone!

You can find me at the Eaton Centre between 11am – 1pm but you can also catch a whole bunch of other cool musicians like The New Cities and Jason Bajada at other Eaton Centre locations and the Metro Station (Place-des- Arts and Berri-Uquam), busking for change and showing their support.

Musicians can be an adventurous, restless bunch. When it comes to downtime, many musicians either go stir crazy or resort to making more music outside of their regular gig. The latter is certainly the case for Simple Plan’s Sebastien Lefebvre, who recently released his debut solo CD, You Are Here.
From Simple Plan to a simple band, Sébastien Lefebvre, lead guitarist of the five piece act from Montreal, may be releasing a solo album, but he says he’s not planning on leaving his fellow bandmates any time soon. Au contraire, at the same time his new album You Are Here/Vous Êtes Ici is dropping, the band is in the midst of writing songs for an upcoming album. As for his solo project, Lefebvre casually says that the reasoning behind the album is that “[he] had a lot of songs and [he] just wanted to put them out there.”
Sebastien Lefebvre’s been doing a TON of press lately in support of his new EP “You Are Here” being released this past Tuesday. If you havent been able to keep up with all the action, check out clips and interviews here!
Get the record on iTunes to get “The Veronicas” cover song “Untouched” and the Audio Commentary for the whole album.
