Bonsound is thrilled to announce the signing of Rich Aucoin for his upcoming album, titled Ephemeral, due in September. This second album, the follow-up to 2012 Polaris Longlisted We’re All Dying To Live, is a poppy, hook-driven, and relentless singalong. More details on the new album will follow soon.
In the meantime, Rich Aucoin shares the crowdsourced video for Are You Experiencing?, an album track from his upcoming new release. Pieced together seamlessly by Ian MacMillan, the video footage was provided by Rich’s fans who captured a moment under his colourful parachute over the last four years. Some of the locations from the fan videos were festivals and shows including Osheaga, Hangout Fest, Rifflandia, The Drake Hotel, Pop Montreal, Ottawa Bluesfest, Pianos in NYC and SXSW.
Rich is performing in Montreal tonight at 11:30pm at La Sala Rossa as part of the One Man Band Festival. He’ll be doing a few more shows ahead of the release of Ephemeral in September.

Maître dans l’art de lâcher son fou, capable de générer de puissants karaokés collectifs, faire danser et chanter des foules… Aucoin est capable de générer le méga-party
