Purchase advanced tickets on SHOWPASS HERE ($25 plus tax and fees) OR at the door while quantities last ($30 plus tax)

Dinner is available with our kitchen open until 9pm. Reservations are strongly suggested—make yours HERE. We are an intimate 85-seat venue, so every seat is a great seat! While we do our best to accommodate all seating requests, they cannot be guaranteed. For the best experience, we recommend making reservations in even numbers (for example, a party of three may be seated with an additional guest). Doors open half an hour before showtime for those who will not be dining with us.

Mélisande is one of the leading female musical forces on the traditional Quebec music scene. She built her career with the release of four albums in the electrotrad style (an original blend of traditional song and electronic music) before revisiting her repertoire with an acoustic trad quintet on the 2024 album Rembobine. Her discography, praised by critics in Quebec and elsewhere and recognized with several awards and nominations, has allowed her to perform more than 375 shows around the world. With her contagious energy and engaging stage presence, Mélisande gets crowds dancing and singing wherever she goes. On April 24, 2026, she will release the album Sur la même longueur d'onde, featuring renowned guests (Édith Butler, Damien Robitaille, Yves Lambert, Mamselle Ruiz, Jacobus, Katia Rock, Kizaba). The new show Sur la même longueur d'onde will be presented in its acoustic quintet version at the Motel Chelsea, the first date of a tour that will take Mélisande and her band to Ontario and British Columbia. This quintet has received two Canadian Folk Music Award nominations, one GAMIQ nomination, and one OPUS Award nomination (Show of the Year), in addition to having performed more than thirty shows in Canada, the United States, Europe, and Australia.
