Michel Thériault is an author, musician and composer living in Moncton, New-Brunswick. His work, infused with a tender humour, is inspired by humanity's shortcomings and injustices and the twists of everyday life. As an iconoclast, he calls himself "a pop-mustard singer", and his guitar has travelled from Québec to France, and from Belgium to Switzerland. In 2016, he won the famous Éloïzes Award for Musical Artist of the Year. The text from Ils Sont... is originally a song called "Roger et Mathieu", in the CD "Drôle d'oiseau".
