Aucoin’s concerts are also youth-like: he custom orders a giant parachute for fans to clamour underneath, and his live show is such a spectacle that a commentator for CBC Radio 3 has said that”“he’s already holding stadium-calibre, interactive live spectacles in the confines of clubs.” Even his albums take on a commemorative aspect: 2011’s We’re All Dying to Live, which was longlisted for the Polaris Music Prize in 2012, featured more than 500 guest musicians, including Jay Ferguson of Sloan and Becky Ninkovic of You Say Party. The release party for that record featured more than 80 musicians on stage. Clearly, Rich Aucoin likes a good shindig.
