With several successful albums and notable performances to their credit, The Lost Fingers deliver an experience that is both surprising and irresistibly engaging.
In 2014, the group underwent a major change with the departure of singer and guitarist Christian Roberge. He was replaced by singer Valérie Amyot (a finalist on La Voix) and guitarist François “La Mitraille” Rioux, renowned for his virtuosity in jazz guitar. Together, they recorded Wonders of the World, an album produced by John Jorgenson (Elton John, The Hellecasters, Desert Rose Band), inspired by the concept of “one-hit wonders” and featuring reinterpretations of songs by Deee-Lite, Cutting Crew, Rednex and The Cardigans, among others.
In 2019, Valérie Amyot stepped down due to health reasons and was replaced by Rosalie Roberge, who gained public recognition following her appearance on La Voix that same year.
