La Patente – Concert

Franco Fest Victoria 2025 invites you to a wild evening at the Mint with the rock-country-folk band La Patente ( New Brunswick ) !

« La Patente, is a party! » La Patente, is a diesel-drinking, smoke-spitting beast of a band! The band’s explosive energy ignites even the coldest stages. Their raw, razor-sharp music has already won them a large and devoted fan base.

Formed in 2020, the band continues its ascent on the French-speaking scene with intense tours across Canada, Europe and the United States. Hailing directly from the darkness of New Brunswick, La Patente presents a cocktail of punk-rock and country-folk, with a contemporary splash all its own. The band comes to life in concert and leaves no one indifferent – but beware of sensitive ears!

After releasing a debut album entitled “L’Illusion d’la perfection” at the end of 2021 and the EP “Le paradis des infidèles” in the summer of 2022, and presenting a hundred or so shows since the end of 2021 alone, the band is working on their next album, scheduled for release in 2024… it’s sure to be another festive album with a downright dirty folk-country-rock sound and strong energy!

La Patente is Marc Colecchio (lyrics, vocals, guitar), Mathieu Émond (banjo, vocals), Marc-André Godin (double bass, vocals) and Chad Ritchie (drums, vocals).

Strap on your boots, it’s going to be a bumpy ride!
