Great Lake Swimmers?


Recommended Posts

never heard a thing about them. Edjamacate me. Seems as though they will be opening in Champaign.

 

They're from my neck of the woods (the lovely Niagara Peninsula in sunny and snowy southern Ontario). They make lovely acoustic folk music that straddles the line between highly listenable and craggy Americana, sort of an answer to the question "What if Will Oldham led Iron and Wine?" They've got three LPs that I'm aware of: an eponymous debut, Bodies and Minds and Ongiara.

 

You can check out a video for one of my favourite GLS songs here:

 

Enjoy! I think they'll make for a phenomenal Wilco opener. Local boys make good, etc.

They are absolutely fantastic, and I totally agree with the Will Oldham meets Iron And Wine comparison, pretty dead on there. I also found out that they will be coming through the Sault in the next couple months after their Tweedy stint and my band will be opening up for them!
