Background notes
Archive material and source history
Mary Travers was born in 1894 in Newport, Gaspésie, and grew up on a small farm in a large family. She started performing under the name La Bolduc in 1929, singing about rural life in Québec with a mix of traditional folk, French immigrant music, and Celtic influences. Her songs like 'Ma Tante Gervais' and 'Je M'en Vas Au Marché' captured ordinary moments with humor and plainspoken detail.
La Bolduc became a regular on radio broadcasts in the early 1930s. She had a sharp wit in her lyrics and didn't shy away from saying what she thought.
Her recording career lasted over twenty years. Along with 'Ça Va Venir,' she recorded songs like 'J'ai Un Bouton' and 'L'enfant Volé,' painting pictures of daily life and the resilience of working people in Québec during the Depression era.
