Unlocking FME: Quebec’s Enchanting Musical Getaway

It’s hard to exaggerate the magic of Festival de Musique Émergente. Hosted every year over Labour Day weekend in the small city of Rouyn-Noranda in rural Quebec, FME may only be four days long, but because of some unclassifiable mystical time distortion, it feels simply and wonderfully eternal.

When Sam Potrykus was 16 years old, he went on tour with his brother, hitting up over forty states across the country. At the time, he never could have imagined that tour would be the beginning of a life that includes running a music website, a monthly newspaper, co-founding a non-profit organization, and curating a music festival now in it's ninth year.

This second edition featured a range of bands from legendary emo groups, to rock star-level bands who haven’t played a show in years, to hardcore and punk groups who have carved their niche into the music scene in recent times. The diversity, overall quality, and cohesiveness of this festival was phenomenal, and the crowd ranged from high school aged show-goers to adult punks who ditched their jobs to fly across the country.
