Hello Fiasco is a Canadian-American Pop Rock band that emerged publicly in 2021. Frontman Eric LaBossiere (born Canadian) lives on the US side in Helena, MT, while the rest of the band all live in the Winnipeg, Manitoba region, including Joel Couture (bass), Joel Perreault (lead guitars/backing vocals), and Guy Abraham (keys/Ableton/backing vocals). Cam Cordoviz, Eddie Vesely & Ivan Burke have all taken turns in completing the lineup by filling in on drums for studio and live performance. 

​​

With lyrics that are sometimes cheeky and sarcastic, the band’s songs are often meaningful and deep. Backed by the power and vulnerability of LaBossiere’s stylish voice, which is reminiscent of British Pop Rock like Bowie but also holding the American vibe of Brenden Urie (Panic! at the Disco) and Brandon Flowers (The Killers), the band’s driving rhythm section is wrapped up in a tapestry of majestic electric guitar tones, catchy piano melodies, synth landscapes and a barrage of powerful harmonies that all come together to make this Canadian-heavy band a force to reckon with. They might be Pop Rock, but Hello Fiasco is definitely more than the standard fare of same old rock instrumentation and songwriting. 

The band’s debut album “Find The Shoreline” has earned several million streams and over 1.3M video views on YouTube. On radio, the album is currently sitting at 47K trackable radio plays in over 40 countries worldwide, with several top 30s and number ones at US College stations. Hello Fiasco’s first effort was co-produced by frontman Eric LaBossiere and award-winning Canadian producer John Paul Peters (Propagandhi, Arkells, Comeback Kid, Faouzia, Royal Canoe, Cancer Bats, The Bros. Landreth and Begonia). *Peters recently won both Audio Engineering and Producer of the Year awards at the Western Canadian Music Awards. Notably, the album was mastered by American Grammy-winning engineer Randy Merrill of Sterling Sound (Imagine Dragons, Cage The Elephant, Muse, Maroon 5, Paul McCartney, Ariana Grande, Harry Styles, Justin Bieber, Katy Perry, Adele and Lady Gaga).

Hello Fiasco is currently in the process of recording their 2nd album. While their sophomore effort is once again being co-produced by Eric LaBossiere and John Paul Peters, several of the album's songs include a 3rd co-producer. Bruce Lowe, an American Grammy-winning producer and Hollywood music score veteran, has joined the team to help out on new Hello Fiasco tracks like  “Standing Here” and “Impossible is Possible.” Bruce Lowe is known for his work with Andrae Crouch, Stevie Wonder, Quincy Jones, Billy Preston, Madonna, Elton John, Paul McCartney, Michael Jackson, Michael McDonald, Guy Thomas, Ellen Degeneres and more.

Notable recent appearances by the band include 4 consecutive headlining appearances at Canada's Festival du Voyageur, a guest appearance for The Watchmen, I Mother Earth and Bif Naked at Winnipeg's Burt Block Party, a headlining spot at Whoop & Hollar Folk Festival, and several intimate acoustic performances over the course of 2025.  Whether on acoustic mode or full-on rock display, Hello Fiasco always bring their A-game and leaves you feeling like you’ve somehow been a part of their story.
