Originally a trio with Fiori, Normandeau and Valois, Harmonium's roots began in 1973 in coffeehouses around Old Montreal and McGill University. Eventually Daigneault and Locat joined as they played to packed houses throughout 1974 which led to some notice by Quality Records who released their first two albums 'Harmonium' and 'Les Cinq Saisons'. Both albums went platinum in Quebec.

With member changes ensuing (Normandeau was fired) and a new label - CBS - their third record 'L'heptade d'Harmonium' was a double album set produced by Michel Lachance. The band would tour Europe with Supertramp and returned to Canada to a sold out show at Toronto's Massey Hall.

The band went to England in 1979 and toured with James Taylor. Harmonium broke up in 1980.

with notes from Pascal Vallieres, and Marc Deschênes.
