Making their home in the foggy port city of Halifax, Canada, The Bombadils offer stirring and intimate lyrics with intertwining old string-band arrangements, and tinges of bluegrass. Canadian arts journalist Bob Mersereau calls it “folk tunes done with musical adventure and sophistication” and Elmore Magazine, “an enchanting old country folk romp.” They are folk darlings Sarah Frank and Luke Fraser , “Vocal Group of the Year” at the 2024 Canadian Folk Music Awards, alongside Music Nova Scotia 2023 award for Americana/Bluegrass recording of the year.
Hailing from the Ozark Mountains in Arkansas, Gravedancer is a modern Hillbilly, NOT redneck singer songwriter. He was here supporting Nick Shoulders last year at Cluny2
“”Gravedancer is Arkansas’s finest dark, brooding and going-straight-to-hell modern country singer/songwriter…..a gravel-throated diamond of a voice alongside a menacing aura of danger. Beneath the subtle layers of traditional instrumentation and arrangements lies the beating heart of a stoner rock behemoth, emerging from battle with nothing but trusty chords and stories to tell.“” – Derrick Johnston, Make That A Take Records
