The troupe

sylvain

Sylvain « Fox » Bouton

Pianist Fox has been accompanying Uncleballoons for nearly ten years. Performing in duo, he uses a "Loop station" which plays the bass and the drums, and the talented singer he is also sings several songs of the show. He leads the orchestra, and particularly the chorus in which every musician takes part. The voices work adds a special tone to each piece of music performed in its own style - rock, blues, reggae, ballad.
Uncleballoons and Fox have lived incredible things together, especially while touring in Mexico. This complicity can be felt on stage as they marvelously complete each other.

thomas

Thomas « Youki » Stioui

Saxophonist Thomas Stioui is first of all a Balkan music fan. He took part in several street shows, and further to his meeting with Uncleballoons, he joined the troupe in 2008. The saxophone then fits in every song, adding an original touch to the very musical genres gone through. He also handles small percussions and takes part in the chorus with his smooth and rounded voice.

david

David Perron

David is a percussionist drummer whose groove and sense of rhythm stimulate other musicians. Performing discreetly, he takes on music and sound effects with subtlety setting the well-handled show's tone along. Sometimes taking part in the chorus, his voice harmonically suits those of the other musicians.
