Traditional Album of the Year. In the relatively short time since they
formed the band, Chic Gamine has performed all over North America. In
this concert we caught up with them at the 40th Anniversary of the
Regina Folk Festival, where they charmed the audience with their
vibrant energy and beautiful voices on the final night of the
festival.
