Eric Dion

Éric Dion is a singer-songwriter, backing musician, and producer from the Gaspé Peninsula.

He is one half of the duo Dans l’Shed. In 2014, after recording their first EP, the duo was an official selection at the Petite-Vallée Song Festival, where they won the SOCAN Song Award for “Dans l’bois.” Shortly after, the duo signed with the Moncton-based agency and label Le Grenier musique, with whom they released four albums and two EPs. Since then, Dans l’Shed has performed over 200 shows in France, Belgium, Switzerland, Louisiana, Quebec, and across Canada. In 2017, at the Trille Or Awards Gala in Ottawa, their extensive touring throughout French-speaking Canada earned them the Export Québec trophy.

On February 27, 2026, Éric released “L’origine du vent,” his first solo project, on the Le Grenier musique label. The public response was exceptional. Although still driven by guitars reminiscent of Americana, his new songs embrace more pop textures thanks to the addition of pianos, synthesizers, and backing vocals.
