about

Looking over the songs we chose to include on this album, it’s no coincidence that so many deal with loss. It has been a year of goodbyes for us both. Some very sad and hard ones, and some exciting ones (goodbye to single life! Goodbye to my 20’s!). We would like to dedicate this album to our family, who are resilient beyond belief.

Many thanks to our friends and family and fellow musicians that have encouraged and helped us over the last couple years. Special thanks everyone who contributed to our “new instrument fund” at our wedding, we hope you enjoy listening to them as much as we love playing them! We would also like to thank Sawchyn Guitars in Regina, Myhre’s Music in Edmonton, Michael MacLeod in Calgary.
