For nearly five years and a few hundred concerts, Saratoga has been keeping the flame of intimate music alive, stripping song back to its essence. From major stages to intimate venues, Chantal Archambault and Michel-Olivier Gasse have quickly won over the hearts of audiences across the province.

Their first full-length album, Fleur, was released in 2016 to critical acclaim, earning them two nominations at the 2017 ADISQ Awards: "Folk Album of the Year" and "Breakthrough Artist of the Year." As Saratoga’s sensitive universe unfolds with the most generosity on stage, the couple then embarked on a tour of over one hundred and fifty dates across Quebec and Europe. After a brief hiatus in 2018, the duo returned with a second, gracious and benevolent album, Ceci est une espèce aimée.
