    Les Cowboys Fringants

    Les Cowboys Fringants are widely considered the most influential and popular Quebec rock band of the 21st century. They are known for their alternative neo-traditional, folk- country and rock style, and for their eco-activism. The name roughly translates as the Frisky (or Dashing) Cowboys. The band has sold more than 1.3 million albums and won 19 Félix Awards, including six for Group of the Year (2003, 2004, 2011, 2020, 2021), three each for Alternative Album (2002, 2003, 2005) and Rock Album (2012, 2016, 2020), and one for Best-Selling Album of the Year (2020). The untimely death of lead singer Karl Tremblay in 2023, at the age of 47, was mourned as a national tragedy in Quebec, similar to the reaction to the death of the Tragically Hip’s Gord Downie in English Canada.
