Tire le coyote

Possessing a haunting voice that often draws comparisons to fellow Canadian Neil Young, Québécois singer-songwriter Benoit Pinette (born in 1981 in Sherbrooke, Quebec) makes alt-folk music as Tire le coyote (Shoot the Coyote). Having cut his teeth in indie-rock band Fono Jône – with whom he performed at Montreal's Francouvertes and Francofolies de Montréal festivals, but parted ways before putting out any releases – he dropped his solo debut EP in 2009. The full-length follow-up, Le Fleuve en huile, emerged two years later. After keeping up the momentum across his next two LPs, 2013's Mitan and 2015's Panorama, he raised the stakes on album four. 2017's Désherbage was nominated for the 2019 Juno Award for Francophone Album of the Year, while Tire le Coyote was also garlanded with two Prix Félix nominations, Songwriter of the Year and Singer-Songwriter Concert Tour of the Year, as well as gaining a second Canadian Folk Music Award nomination for French Songwriter of the Year at the 14th Canadian Folk Music Awards. An album of gentle French folk, Session acoustique 1, came in 2019 and was followed by 2022's Au premier tour de l'évidence.
