One of Canada�s most renowned guitarists Eric St-Laurent, will be at Diner's Rendezvous, as part of his Canadian tour. After 10 years as a sought after �session-guy� in Berlin, Eric has settled in Toronto where he is creating a buzz with his genre-bending latest project, the Eric St-Laurent Trio.

Having toured with bands like the Shuffle Demons and Carlos del Junco, Eric is eager to get back on the road and showcase his trio's highly anticipated second album Ruby. The record sees jazz guitar riffs set to the unorthodox percussion of the djembe drum, traditional Turkish melodies set to disco, African songs combined with Chicago blues solos or Balkan folk songs with heavy metal bass sounds.

The band�s sound is a product of three distinct personalities and cultural backgrounds. The music is a reflection of the Canadian experience; cultural groups meeting and interacting, setting to song the free exchange of new ideas and mish-mash of cultures that the country is celebrated for.

�Eric St. Laurent and his trio have to be seen to be believed. One of the most unique, kick-ass bands in the country!�
