The Wooden Sky (ON)
This Toronto-based country-folk / indie-rock collective’s special brand of Americana-influenced sound and peerless on stage chemistry has earned them prominence as both studio creatures and road sojourners. It’s also won them a nomination for best Roots & Traditional Album of the Year at the 2013 JUNOs. Shifting from lilting, finger-picked folk ballads and rustic, sepia-toned country twang to skipping indie rock and contemplative ruminations on days gone by, The Wooden Sky’s music creates a unique world of sounds and salvos. Their songs are diamonds-in-the-rough – hard-won tunes about regret, dusty roads, lost souls, and urban life. TWS have struck a nerve with a legion of music fans passionate about the very human stories the group tells, and we know they’ll strike a chord when they hit the stage this summer in Jericho Beach Park.
