For their excellent “testament album” Royal Pubthe Cowboys Fringants have just received seven nominations at the ADISQ Gala, the highest total of all nominees. After 25 years of biting the dust, Jean-François Pauzé has finally received his well-deserved nomination as Author or composer of the year. From up there, Karl Tremblay must be very proud of his acolytes.
The ADISQ Gala will take place on November 3, just a few days before the first anniversary of Karl Tremblay’s death. Before his last breath, the former Cowboys leader wanted to put his mark on Royal Pub.
