Kim Bingham "How to Make it a Success in the Music Industry Rockstar singer-songwriter Kim Bingham started her impressive career as frontwoman of Montreal ska phenomenon Me, Mom & Morgentaler. She continued her musical journey with solo projects Mudgirl and The Kim Band, as well as being part of touring bands for international artists such as Nelly Furtado, Bran Van 3000 and David Usher. In 2007, the charming singer made a splash in Quebec with the TV series Les Invincibles (Radio Canada), for which she composed the original score and won a Prix Gémeaux (Canadian Emmy award) for Best TV Theme Song during the series' award-winning three seasons. She also wrote the original music for the two seasons of the Paris-based sister production of the same TV series "Les Invincibles" (broadcast on Arte France). Released independently in Canada in 2012 (MMG/Distribution Sélect), Kim's new album UP! marks her return to the spotlight. Influenced by pop-rock artists like David Bowie, Blondie, The Strokes, The Beatles, Kim Bingham’s UP! brims with a jukebox feel. Written in Paris and recorded in Los Angeles and Montreal, UP! features stellar musicians from Queens of the Stone Age, Jellyfish and Blind Melon. Not only an expression of her immense zest for life, UP! is also a warm thank you to all the collaborators who supported and helped her in becoming the evolving artist she is today. |

Edward Keller “Gastronomy in France and the United States - history and current trends” Originally from California, Edward moved to France in 1995 with his French wife. Much of his knowledge about French food (and the French Language) came from sitting around the dinner table with his wife's family. For 10 years, without any formal culinary training, he worked on the inside of the French kitchen scene working his way up in several historical and prestigious Parisian restaurants: Le Grand Véfour, L'Escargot Montorgueil, Jacques Cagna, and Cabaret. In 2004, Edward left the restaurant kitchens behind and started his own personal chef service, Carotte et Caviar, where each meal is an event. "I'm lucky to have learned so much about French food and culture, and now it is a privilege for me to share my knowledge and experience with others who value the idea of a fine meal amongst good friends."
