Shawinigan band East Road formed in the Mags
Shawinigan-based band East Road came together two years on a trip to the Magdalen Islands. Why "East Road"? They were simply on the road... driving east... from the Mauricie through to the Mags when they decided to form the band. The CBC's Rachelle Solomon sat down with JeanMichel Renaud and Rami Renno, two of the three musicians in the band, to talk about their travels, their music, and to shuffle around in JeanMichel's guitar case.
