-------
Originating from the heart of the Canadian prairies, Ponteix was awarded Francophone Artist of the Year at the 2025 Western Canadian Music Awards. The project distills hypnotic grooves, weaving together psychedelic electronic pop with the melancholic tones of R&B and indie rock.
On stage, Ponteix comes alive as a trio, delivering an electrifying performance rooted in the words and heritage of Mario Lepage, who hails from the village of St. Denis, Saskatchewan. Swepped by the winds of the plains, Lepage ventured to Montreal, where he gave life to Ponteix’s second album, Le canadien errant, released on February 6, 2025.
