Elliott BROOD approach the release of Keeper, an album about loyalty and resilience, with a new song out today. As the second song shared from Keeper, “Bird Dog” is a metaphor for companionship. When the lines between those who chase and those who run get blurry, the song reminds us that in partnerships, we are seldom only one or the other.

We are addressing the reports of sexual misconduct against Danny Kenyon of The Dead South from women who have been harmed. These reports are of incidents from years before we started working with Danny and the band.

Elliott BROOD announce their return to Six Shooter Records, home of the trio’s early breakout albums, with their seventh album, Keeper. The title, which speaks to loyalty and longevity, sets the tone for an album that explores the strength of conviction, and how that strength is tested over time. Thoughts of worthiness and dedication, and their emotional flip sides, inform a collection that sees the history-minded band exploring battlefields much closer to home.

The Dead South celebrated their second JUNO Award win for Traditional Roots Album of the Year last night, announced in a virtual awards show that also featured the bluegrass quartet performing at an empty venue in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, the intended host city.

Zaki Ibrahim revisits her candescent, joyous debut EP Shö (Iqra in Orange), originally released in 2006, with a new companion recording Shö Live in Toronto, both available to stream worldwide for the first time on Friday, June 26, 2020.

Reassuringly familiar, if a little bit flashier, the longsuffering but thankful NQ Arbuckle wins another battle against the urge to cut and run with “Love Songs For The Long Game,” his first new music in six years. For an artist whose songs have always grappled, at least in part, with the panic that comes with both asking and answering the question “Why am I doing this?” NQ Arbuckle has found his place writing seafarer songs for drinking on dry land, for our labours of love large and small.

In a newly isolated world, The Dead South offer a little blast of joy in a madcap, two-minute whip through of “This Little Light Of Mine,” an all ages, all walks of life folk classic that endures as a powerful, uplifting unifier. Like a roll down a hill, The Dead South’s devil-may-care take is fast, fun and done in a flash.

Today, Six Shooter management clients July Talk released the first single, “Pay For It” from their new album, Pray For It, the band’s third album. Out July 10, 2020 (via Sleepless Records in Canada and BMG worldwide) the long-awaited new studio album emerges into unprecedented circumstances, a strange and startling background for July Talk’s surrender to the sacred unknown.

Some of you might have heard Whitehorse deliver a stunning cover of "Fade Into You" on their #CanadaPerforms live concert last Friday. And a few of you even mentioned in the comments how much you liked it. We're happy to say that today Whitehorse have released an official recording of the Mazzy Star classic.

There aren’t many bluegrass songs with pierogies and cabbage rolls on the menu, but there aren’t many bluegrass bands like The Dead South. This string band from the Canadian prairies, currently on a world tour that includes sold out stops in over 20 countries, is known for – and is comfortable with – their left field approach to the genre.A fan favourite, “Fat Little Killer Boy,” is the lyrical origin for the title of their most recent album Sugar & Joy
