This is Goudreau's 2nd Blues album featuring all French vocal original songs. The 1st album "Nous avions rendez vous", released in 2000 on the Montreal based Bros Label had a successful run with concerts at Montreal's Francofolies in 2001 and a live recording at la Maison de la Culture de Frontenac, recorded by Radio-Canada's "Silence on jazz" and broadcast coast to coast!

With Je reste accroché, you'll discover a good-timing mix of contemporary Blues and traditional Blues with diverse influences : Chicago Blues, Swing, Jazz, Rock, RnB, Country and even a Reggae! Mike Goudreau is accompanied by long time cronies and musicians, Maxime St-Pierre (Michel Cusson, Jean-Pierre Ferland, Alain Caron) on trumpet and horn arrangements, the brilliant saxophonist Dany Roy (Garou, Bet-E and Steph, Suzie Arioli), Nino Fabi (Garou, J.C. Lauzon) on keyboards and the rhythm section of Jean-François Bégin on drums and percussions and Jonathan-Guillaume Boudreau on bass.

Goudreau wrote all the songs on the album with the help from lyricists and collaborators Michel Aubin, Lise Gaudreau and the Frenchman Jacques Mège. Diverse song subjects such as : relationships, love, breakups, partys, friends, society and lighter stories with a comical edge. The always instantly recognizable "Goudreau" signature is in the music and grooves. A Blues album that defies the convention that Blues is solely sung in English. Finally a Blues album that all francophones can understand in the language of Molière!

Recorded and engineered by Jimmy Lord at Studio Plante Verte in St-Julie, Quebec and mastered by Steve Corao at Sage Audio in Nashville, Tennessee, this recording can stand beside the big Blues productions from the USA. The proof is in the pudding since Mike Goudreau's music productions have been heard on dozens of network TV shows and films from the United States in the past 7 years, such as : Dirty Sexy Money (ABC), Army Wives (Lifetime), Kath and Kim (NBC), George Lopez Show (TBS), Justified (FX), Scoundrels (ABC), Friday Night Lights (ABC), Let's Make a Deal (CBS), Memphis Beat (TNT), Auction Kings (Discovery), American Pickers (Discovery), Oddities (Discovery), Hung (HBO), Defiance (FX), The Fosters (ABC Family) and most recently the TV movie "North Pole" (Bravo/Hallmark).

For the past 25 years, Goudreau continues to expand his horizons in the world of music not only in Québec and the United States, but also, all over the world! We invite you to rediscover this great Canadian talent!
