There are some things that have always seemed to go well together: hydrogen and oxygen, peanut butter and jam, and of course Chuck & Albert ! Equipped with generous portions of faces, flying feet, and fiddle faux-pas, these Island Acadian funny-men pack as much ESI (entertainment-per-square-inch) into a show as an Acadian has relatives ...which is a lot.
Chuck Arsenault A native of Montague, P.E.I., Chuck has always had a zest for entertaining, whether through skits, songs, or his own form of "eye" brow comedy. After obtaining a degree in music at the University of Prince Edward Island, he focused on rediscovering his French- Acadian roots. He considers himself lucky to be able to entertain in both of Canada's "un"official languages - laughter and music. | | Albert Arsenault A 20-year veteran of the stage from St. Chrysostome, P.E.I., Albert has always known how to please an audience and continues the fiddling legacy of his father Eddy Arsenault. A talented singer, Albert’s vocal interpretations are one of a kind. His great comedic presence, fine musicianship and genuine demeanour shine through in every performance whether the audience's age is eight or 88! | | Chuck & Albert have been playing together as a duo since 2004, performing music and dance from the Acadian traditional repertoire, and adding new material that suits their comedic strengths. With a keen eye on Acadian history and its relevance to current art forms today, they provide audiences a highly interactive experience of PEI Acadian musical, cultural and dance traditions - in an engaging and authentic way.
Chuck & Albert are proud former members of the successful Acadian group Barachois. | |
