Eric Labossiere
Winnipeg
The Mailman’s Children is a Canadian-American rock band based out of both Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada and Helena, Montana, USA. Frontman Eric Labossiere lives on the US side while the remainder of the band lives in Canada.
Known for smooth and passionate vocals, LaBossiere writes songs that are very personal in nature yet relatable to most. In recent years, he has said that he writes songs as a reminder of lessons learned and things to “not do again,” all the while providing a message of hope, assuring the listener that we can all survive and laugh off the difficulties of our complex lives.
Musically, the band is known for its driving bass and drums, as well as its sonic guitar and piano interplay. Although the players always remember to incorporate memorable hints and flavors of the past, The Mailman’s Children have been deemed visionaries with a fresh sound. TMC has now released 4 records, producing rock and acoustic tunes, ballads, and instrumentals. However, their biggest and most comprehensive studio work is slated for release in 2020.
The band: Eric Labossiere (lead vocals, rhythm guitar), Joel Couture (Bass), Joel
Perreault (lead guitar, backing vocals), Ivan Burke (drums), and Guy Abraham (backing vocals, piano & keys, Ableton).
