BERLIN, N.H. — Josee Vachon, Quebec Heritage singer, songwriter and storyteller, will return to St. Kieran Arts Center at 2 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 6. Tickets are $12 adults and $6 for students and are available at the door.

Born in Quebec and raised in Maine, Vachon has been sharing her Franco-American heritage and upbringing for more than 25 years through traditional and contemporary folk songs from Quebec and Acadia as well as her own compositions.

Growing up, she often entertained at family gatherings. She began singing publicly with the support of the Franco-American Center at the University of Maine, where she discovered others who shared the same Quebeqois heritage. She gained recognition as a new Franco-American voice at festivals and concert halls throughout New England and beyond.

From March 1987 to April 1998, Vachon hosted more than 500 tapings of “Bonjour!,” airing on various cable and public television stations throughout the Northeast.

Doors will open at 1 p.m. and guests are invited to view a new group art exhibition by North Country artists Asa Brosnan, Paul Croteau, Fran Greenwood, Andre Belanger, Ernest Demers, Michael Eastman, William Scolere and Michael Pelchat.

Tickets are on sale at the St. Kieran office and at businesses throughout Coos County. For more information, call 603-752-1028 or visit 155 Emery St., Berlin, or visit www.stkieranarts.org.
