What happens when a traditional folk musician from Quebec meets a young guitarist raised on an eclectic mix of records? The result is Diamond Day, a band that masterfully fuses shoegaze, electro-pop, and dream pop into a refreshing soundscape. Join us as we chat with Beatrice and Quinn, the creative forces behind Diamond Day, and uncover the rich musical tapestry that threads through their lives. From Beatrice's upbringing amidst Quebec's folk traditions to Quinn's early days touring with Canadian bands, this episode is a journey through their musical evolution.
