The Wilderness Inside

We are playing tonight! 8-10.
Come catch the magic of some new spells and old favourite incantations!
🪄 🌱 ✨

See you on Monday Sept 11, 8-10pm at ✨
There shall be a surprise guest pal hopping in for a tune or two! Come hang, say goodbye to Tristan & Kathryn (who will be heading back to BC for a couple months), and hear some tunes & tour stories! 🍃

Thank you for this lovely drawing of our hairs 🙏

We can hardly believe it’s been over a month since our tour ended! We’ll be playing one more show this summer ~ in our hometown of Toronto, at one of our favourite venues ( ) ~ this upcoming Monday, September 11, 8-10pm. A last summer hoorah! We’re so looking forward to sharing our music with you, and breathing some ocean air into the city 🍃

‘Twas a magical last show of the tour, on dear friends’ Kimberly & David (aka ‘Shy Now’)‘s beautiful Vancouver rooftop. Thank you to all the lovely humans who came and shared your energy, and thank you to Kimberly & David for your gorgeous music/poetry & graceful/generous hosting. What a way to end the tour! ✨

We had quite a spectacular time on this trip. An abundance of laughter, mountain hiking & ocean swimming, a real treat to dig deeper into our collaboration & friendship, and so many wonderful humans met along the way.

As we anticipated, we came out just about even financially from the whole thing. We are so deeply grateful to those who contributed to our GoFundMe ~ you helped us to come out on top, and not have to pay out of pocket (other than plane tickets) for this tour. Thank you deeply!

If you’d still like to donate, the link to our campaign is in our bio. Every little bit helps 🙏

Another way you can support us ~ tomorrow (Aug 4) is Bandcamp Friday! That means when you buy music on Bandcamp, 100% of that money goes to the artists. If you haven’t yet purchased our first single, Winter’s End, tomorrow would be a wonderful day to do so! Link in bio. 🌊

Thank you, all, for your support, donations, kind words, applause, singing along, hosting, and general loveliness ~ it was such a pleasure to meet so many beautiful humans and be in so many beautiful places. We are infinitely grateful to have had this adventure together! We will share videos, music, and more photos from our tour soon 🍃

We had the most magical time in Powell River, BC ~ a music/meditation workshop, playing at the farmer’s market, and our big show at Cranberry Hall ✨ Thank you for being such a lovely audience, and welcoming us with such warmth into your beautiful community. We hope to come back again next year!

Here are a couple wee snippets of songs we are sharing on this tour ~ "Shape of My Feet" & "The Flame", recorded live from Salt Spring Island. See you tomorrow in Robert's Creek! 🌿

We had such a wonderful time sharing our music at Notional Space in Vancouver ~ what a magical venue! Incredible acoustics, kind & welcoming hosts (thank you Mark & Yoo-mi!) and an engaged, receptive audience ✨

We received these lovely words from one of the audience members after the show (Tony Kastelic, of the band Salt Thief) ~ “I love your commitment to really tight ensembleship, visual mirroring, and super creative and fresh composition. What a delight and so intimate!” ☺️

We'll see you next tomorrow night (July 27th) in Robert's Creek 🍃

We had such a lovely time at the first show of our tour in Victoria ~ thank you to Colleen & James for such generous hospitality, and for hosting us in their beautiful flower-full backyard 🌼

Tomorrow we’ll be busking at the summer market on Salt Spring Island, and on Sunday we’ll see you at Notional Space in Vancouver! 🏔

We are thrilled to be leading a Mindful Music Meditation workshop at Cranberry Hall this month ~ this will be our first time visiting Powell River, which we've heard is "absolutely breathtaking". We look forward to connecting with community & sharing a wee taste of our music at Serena Eades' fiddle camp, and then playing a full concert of music on July 29th 🌿Thank you to Lea Kirstein for connecting us!

We're finally here! Happy to have arrived safely to Salt Spring Island, and ready to share some music with you lovely West Coast folk 🌿
