ABOUT

About

2 Guys With Guitars is a dynamic musical duo that has evolved into a full-sounding band. Bringing together the rich backgrounds of Brian Le Breton and Mike Guignard, they masterfully blend classic rock, folk, country, and Celtic influences with their unique instrumental flair.

 

**Brian Le Breton**, hails from a musical lineage that inspired his journey from an early age. Born into a nomadic family, his musical roots were nurtured through east coast-style kitchen parties across Canada, from British Columbia to Nova Scotia. A devoted musician since the age of six, Brian's initial foray into music began with a ukulele and later, his father's revered cedar-topped Yamaki guitar. Having performed in various bands during his youth, Brian eventually pursued a career in aerospace engineering while continuing to feed his passion for music. Over the years, he has become proficient in several instruments, including lead guitar, mandolin, and vocals.

 

**Mike Guignard**, originally from Bathurst, New Brunswick, shares a similar upbringing. Surrounded by a family that cherished music, Mike learned guitar amid lively kitchen parties, gaining inspiration from his father, who built guitars that remain cherished heirlooms. Mike contributes his talent as the duo's main vocalist, and his skills span electric and acoustic guitar as well as the harmonica.

 

The collaboration between Brian and Mike began during their time in the military, where they were both air weapons technicians. Their shared love for music quickly led to performances at base functions in Bagotville, Québec. After various postings temporarily separated them, they reunited and officially became "2 Guys With Guitars" in 2015. Their musical journey has only grown since.

During the COVID years, the duo took the opportunity to enhance their sound by incorporating bass and drum tracks, giving their music the depth of a full band. They shifted their focus to classic rock, modern country, and Celtic tunes, showcasing the electric guitar and mandolin at their core. This period of innovation led to the creation of a promotional video and invitations to perform at prestigious venues like Casino Rama in Orillia and Playtime Casino in Wasaga Beach.

 

Their live shows have captivated audiences at fairs, festivals, and notable events such as "Rocktoberfest," where they had the privilege of opening for renowned artists Ashley MacIsaac and David Wilcox. Their set featured a blend of classic rock favorites alongside two original songs.

 

Brian and Mike's love for music extends beyond performance spaces. Each winter, they embark on musical escapades to sunny destinations.

What began as intimate beach-side jam sessions with friends

has grown into a traveling musical troupe, entertaining resort patrons with a mini PA system. Their audiences have enjoyed their vibrant performances in locations such as Antigua, Panama, Cancun, Punta Cana, the Dominican Republic, and Holguín, Cuba.

 

Outside of music, Brian is a proud father to three children, Nicolas, Mélanie, and David, who, happily, share their dad's musical interests. He also enjoys the support of his partner, Tanya, who embraces his busy musical life. David, continuing the family tradition, has two children of his own, a boy and a girl.

 

Mike, alongside his wife Christine, is the proud father of two musically gifted children, Shane and Monica. Monica has further expanded the family with three children—two boys and a girl—continuing the family's rich musical heritage. Mike finds joy in both his music and the vibrant family life he shares with Christine and their children.

 

Together, Brian and Mike have created a compelling musical journey that continues to evolve. Their passion for storytelling through music and their ability to weave diverse genres into a cohesive and engaging performance is what makes 2 Guys With Guitars a beloved act among their expanding audience
