I have only recently been dipping my proverbial toe into using Spotify to listen to music. One thing that is truly enjoyable about it is finding all my musician friends on Spotify! A few have released albums lately, so I wanted to make a playlist to highlight their new works and maybe even throw in some older tracks from other albums that are also amazing. Check out the playlist and follow these artists, and keep track because I will be updating it as the year goes on and more albums get released! We’re also working on finishing our album, which…    read more.

April is here, and we have some pretty big news to share!! We’re thrilled to announce that we’ve joined forces with Liz DiSessa at Heart Roots Music for our North American booking!! Heart Roots represents some pretty phenomenal artists and we’re over the moon to be a part of their roster! We’re excited about the opportunity to spend more time on creative endeavors and to tour to places we’ve not yet been. Which brings us to touring… It’s been a relatively quick winter for us. Graydon travelled to Banff last month for an intense two-week songwriter residency at the Banff…    read more.

Happy Holidays! Besides the obvious snow fort construction that we hope will rival the Great Pyramid of Giza, winter is kind of wonderful for hunkering down in a studio and creating some new recordings. That is mainly what we are doing this winter, with a few breaks to poke our heads out and play some shows. We are actually kicking the year off with some full-band shows in Ottawa, Tamworth, and our first full-band show in the United States (in Cooperstown NY!) on Saturday January 21st. Wish us luck! We are also planning to head to Kansas City in February…    read more.

Eastern US folks, we’re headed towards you in September and early October!

After a crazy spring, much of June and July has been relatively quiet. We’ve written a bunch of new tunes for the next album and we’ve been working on recording rough demos to see what we’ve created. An actual album is still a little ways off, but we’re excited by what we have so far! In August we’re excited to be heading north and then east to play a few really great festivals. We’ll be at Live From The Rock Folk Festival in Red Rock from August 5th-7th, Trout Forest Music Festival in Ear Falls from August 12th-14th, and then the Arts Alive Festival in…    read more.

We’re home! After 10 weeks of travel, we are happy to be home and take care of those quotidian joys and household chores that have our attention for a little while. We just harvested the grass (it was knee-high). What fun! A huge thanks to all the amazing people who made our spring tour possible. We travelled west to Calgary, south to Virginia, east to New England and the Maritimes, and back home again. The tour was filled with wonderful shows and people, and the fact that we got to spend time as a family made it all the more special….    read more.

After 38 days, 28 shows, 7 states, and 5 provinces, we’re feeling a little overwhelmed to be home, and don’t quite know what to say other than THANK YOU to everyone who hosted a show, opened their homes to us, came out to see us play, and spread the word about the first half of our spring tour. We had a few days off for laundry, haircuts and dentist visits before the second leg of the tour, which will bring us through the northeastern US and briefly through the maritimes. You can check out all of our tour dates HERE.

Spring is the time for roaming the countryside! We’re about to leave for a 10-week tour that will take us from Sudbury to Edmonton, Calgary to Chicago, Philadelphia to New York City to Washington DC to Boston to Halifax and back to Saratoga Springs NY! At the end of the tour, we even get to play some full band shows in Toronto and Wakefield, just to put the icing on the cake. We would love to see you at a show! Full tour dates are HERE. We are traveling on this tour with our son, Simon, (hence the “Family Band…    read more.

It’s hard to believe we’re well into February now. We’ve had a bunch of really lovely shows in the new year including playing at City Hall for the Mayor (see the piece from CityNews below), the fantastic Octave Theatre in Kingston, and an amazing sold out hometown show at the Burdock Music Hall in Toronto! From the outside it may seem like we’re laying relatively low, but we’ve been busy working on some new tunes and on plans that will see us visiting most of North America… and that’s only a slight exaggeration. We’ll be packing up the van in the last…    read more.

Holy moses we have some exciting news! We were the recipient of the New/Emerging Artist of the Year award at the 2015 Canadian Folk Music Awards (CFMA) in Edmonton this past Sunday!! We’ve been getting so many messages of support and congratulations in the last few days, and we very much appreciate all the sweet words. We’ve received such an amazing amount of support over the bands’ six year existence, and we are so grateful to everyone who has come to a show, booked us at their venue, house concert or festival, bought an album, gave us a bed, and spread…    read more.
