SFMS is thrilled to welcome back this rising Canadian duo to the Fort Hunter Barn in Harrisburg!
This Canadian duo challenges the borders between people, places, and traditions, while encouraging freedom of expression and community through music. Their dark, fiery, folk-without-borders sound is a rich synthesis of influences they’ve absorbed during twelve years of near-constant transatlantic touring.
Their songs burrow deeply, with close harmony duets, commanding vocals, and poignant contemplations on cycles of life, including birth and death. Tinges of Americana stand side-by-side with the ghosts of Eastern European fiddle tunes and ancient a cappella ballad singing, melding into an unusually accessible dark-folk sound. Their music invokes an ephemeral sense of place — whether real or imagined — inviting us to take comfort in the infinite possibilities of life, whether or not we ever choose to settle down.
For a duo defined by constant touring, it’s not surprising that the two artists, Lisa Maria and Amy Lou Keeler, met on the road. As Lisa remembers it, “Amy was driving her old Mercedes from Montreal to Nova Scotia and I was looking for a ride. We spent the 17 hours in the car talking almost exclusively about music. By the time we reached Halifax we started playing together, and within a week or two became a band.”
Touring throughout North America, Europe, Ireland and the UK, they’ve built grassroots DIY communities to support their music, or moved along the pathways of communal organizing that have sustained other touring artists.
