Good Lovelies & The Once

Good Lovelies – With nine critically acclaimed releases, a #1 single, a JUNO Award, several Canadian Folk Music Awards, and a devoted fanbase blanketing the globe, roots-pop combo Good Lovelies are among Canada’s brightest musical lights. The hardworking trio of Caroline Brooks, Kerri Ough, and Susan Passmore — guitar-wielding songwriters all, and queens of the goose bump–raising three-part harmony – wear age 14 (they formed in 2006) with grace and ambition, and are poised to soar even higher in the roaring 2020s on every conceivable front. There’s writing, recording and performing, to be sure, but also tangible green initiatives, a plan to achieve gender parity in the studio, and a bold embrace of the digital age.

The Once – Newfoundland has a storied history of stunning songwriters, poets and players. Over the course of the last decade The Once have writ and knit themselves into that story with continuous Canadian and international touring, Canadian Folk Music Awards, East Coast Music Awards, JUNO Award nominations, and a dedication to songwriting. On their latest album, “Time Enough”, the band stays true to the strength of their three-part folk harmony sound, while extending its borders into new territory that stays fresh but sounds unfamiliar. The Once have also appeared as guest vocalist on the past three Passenger albums.
