The painter Caroline St-Pierre, native from Trois-Rivières, graciously accepted that one of her works is used for this edition official poster of the Trois-Rivières en Blues festival. The work entitled Le son du Gibs, representing a guitarist, was the perfect way to give a soul to the festival and represent the passion of the artists and lovers of this music. This is a piece from his latest collection.
