They’re nice people who play folk music. Oh yeah, Pharis and Jason Romero have also won four Junos and seven Canadian Folk Music Awards. Their newest record, Tell ‘Em You Were Gold, just won the 2023 Juno Award for Traditional Roots Album of the Year! From the small town of Horsefly B.C., they’re raising a family and building custom banjos.  They started out together playing mostly traditional music. Over the years they’ve moved their original songwriting and nuanced singing into the forefront, and audiences have embraced their intelligent songs, the sounds of their instruments and their clear approach to being two people while singing like one.

Folk musician, ethnomusicologist, and folk music scholar Mike Tod is a wry and raspy tenor bringing old-time music to modern audiences. His repertoire weaves through the traditional musics of the Americas, from cowboy songs of Alberta’s coulees, to traditional ballads of the Appalachian Mountains. He sings well-worn traditional songs, researches their roots, and shares them in a fashion that seems old yet contemporary. It sets a precedent for a sound that is both rooted in history and relevant to the present day.
