Daniel Boucher

About

The artist

Daniel Boucher is a Quebec singer-songwriter and guitarist based in Saint-Maxime-du-Mont-Louis. He emerged through the Festival en chanson de Petite-Vallée in the late 1990s and introduced his recorded catalog with Dix mille matins in 1999. The album established a direct, rhythmically flexible form of French-language rock and led to the Félix for Revelation of the Year at the 2000 ADISQ gala. Subsequent releases include La patente, Chansonnier, Le soleil est sorti, Toutte est temporaire, and À grands coups de tounes, vol. 1. Across those recordings, Boucher moves between amplified rock, acoustic songwriting, Quebec chanson, and progressive structures while keeping colloquial language at the centre of his work. His independent company Boucane Bleue is connected to his current releases. In March 2025, he released the single Ma Nation, an adaptation created as the official music for the Bloc Québécois federal campaign. The official artist site also launched Vingt mille matins, a solo and full-band show marking twenty-five years of his career and first album. Its current calendar documents the production continuing in 2026, alongside an official Quebec National Holiday performance. Quebec municipal and news records identify Boucher with Saint-Maxime-du-Mont-Louis, where he served as a municipal councillor. The canonical Spotify identifier matches Apple Music, MusicBrainz, Wikidata, the current official site, and the same recent catalog.
