Michel Pagliaro

About

The artist

Michel Pagliaro is a Montreal rock singer, songwriter, guitarist, arranger, producer, and recording engineer. His current bilingual official website identifies him as a Montreal musician, lists a Montreal booking representative, and presents an extensive 2026 and 2027 concert calendar concentrated in Quebec. Preste's current roster independently documents the same Quebec touring schedule. A September 2025 interview also describes him as actively performing throughout the province and continuing to create new music projects. These sources establish his current Montreal, Quebec professional base and active status. Pagliaro entered recording studios in the mid-1960s and built a career that crosses French and English rock. His official biography describes work as a musician, arranger, producer, and engineer on both sides of the Atlantic. Songs including J'entends frapper, What the Hell I've Got, Rainshowers, Lovin' You Ain't Easy, and Les bombes remain central to his repertoire. His official calendar divides current performances between electric and acoustic formats, while the 2024 Pag Acoustic Saloon live album presents 48 tracks from that repertoire. The exact Spotify identity 22bUAcy8T810uVtM7IUzkV contains 16 album containers available in Canada from 2010 through May 10, 2024. Spotify classifies all 16 as albums. The provider catalog includes Pag Acoustic Saloon, Grands Succès, themed collections, bilingual studio albums, live recordings, and catalog compilations. Representative releases are Pag Acoustic Saloon, Grands Succès, J'entends frapper, What the Hell I've Got, and Pag: Live 73. The official website, Spotify, Bandcamp, MusicBrainz artist bf816840-98ed-43b2-9b5a-a3c4fbb27726, and Wikidata Q285309 converge on the same artist identity. Pagliaro was inducted into the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame in Montreal in 2025 and Canada's Walk of Fame in 2023. His honours also include the 2008 Governor General's Performing Arts Award and the 2016 Prix François-Cousineau. The official biography explicitly documents producer and engineer roles, so MusicList includes this profile in both the artist and producer directories. Current booking is represented by Preste. Professional inquiries route through the official artist contact form without reproducing direct email, phone, fax, or street-address details.
