A STORY FOR THE SEASONS
The Seasons formed in Beauport, Quebec in the winter of 2011.
The Chiasson brothers Hubert & Julien (vocals & guitars) had a desire to share the collection of hooks and melodies turning in their minds with the world, and so, Julien called up Rémi (drums & percussion) who brought along Sam (bass) and the band was formed. The chemistry was instantaneous. After a few weeks in their parents basement a fully grown batch of original songs were brewed and they realized immediately that they were part of something bigger then themselves. These apples needed to be shared.
They booked their first gig and realized they needed a name. A basketful were thrown against the wall and The Seasons stuck.
The Seasons played their first show for friends and became aware that they needed a larger venue. A quick succession of sold out local shows followed and the word spread.
Their home video for Apples was made with sympathetic artist friends and released on Youtube in summer 2012 further increasing their notoriety.
The band met producer Stephane Rancourt (Pascale Picard, Jean Leloup) in spring 2012 at the Ampli (a creative collective for emerging artists). Together they began work on Apples and a collection of other songs for an independent 7 song EP called Velvet!!! released in June 2013.
