Richard Séguin

Richard Séguin (born March 27, 1952, in Pointe-aux-Trembles, Québec Canada) is a Québécois songwriter, musician and singer.

Their folk reprise of Felix Leclerc's Le train du nord enjoyed huge radio play and record sales, along with other titles.

[clarification needed] Séguin's songwriting features a delicately intertwined tapestry of blues, folk and rock music influences, feeding from the works of many musicians from Québec and abroad, a reflection of the artist's wide-open range of inspiration.

The mixture reveals to be intricate and complex, and strongly and coherently integrated to the visual patterns of Séguin's work, a brilliant remark of how Miron's poetry may not be dissociated from Québec's life environment.

At many occurrences in the course of his career, Séguin has expressed his complete support for Quebec independence, either within his song lyrics, or in public appearances.
