Elliott BROOD & Great Lake Swimmers

Elliott BROOD
“Doing it the hard way for 20 years,” is a badge Elliott BROOD wear with honour. Work, life and love have taken the trio away from their hometowns and headfirst into an ongoing musical journey through distance and time. Now, after being members of this band for nearly half of their lives, Elliott BROOD is never more at home than in the wash of distorted, evocative strings and stomps that make their signature alt country sound. With smile lines and guitar fingers long hardened with callouses, Elliott BROOD has been doing it the hard way, but making it sound easy.

Great Lake Swimmers
Featuring a blend of acoustic instruments, rural soundscapes and wistful vocals, Great
Lake Swimmers are a critically acclaimed indie-folk group led by songwriter and vocalist Tony Dekker. The group emerged in the early 2000s with a succession of heavily atmospheric albums recorded in old silos and rural country churches. The result is a lush, atmospheric sound and introspective lyrics rooted in nature that beautifully translates to their live performances. Great Lake Swimmers were shortlisted for the prestigious Polaris Music Prize, nominated for Juno Awards and have been described as “a national treasure” by The CBC.
