Boreal’s new single “Shepherd of the Road” has just been released and is available digitally.
It is the first single off their new album, “Winterbirds.” Physical copies will be available soon
…but in the meantime, you are welcome to dowlnload it from Bandcamp.
Boreal…
…is the magical musical collaboration of Tannis Slimmon, Katherine Wheatley and Angie Nussey. These three hard working singer-songwriters, each with their own longstanding, award winning careers, simply love to play music together. In the winter, Boreal shines their collective light on Canada’s coldest months with their show “Songs for the Snowy Season”. The brighter months are reserved for “Songs of Renewal”, a show that combines sun-loving, moon-watching, finger-snapping, heart-touching and deeply uplifting songs.

We’re excited to see Sarah Burton who is opening our show tonight!
We are on the road! Any guesses as to where we are right now? Hint: it’s in Northern Ontario.
Deep gratitude to those who responded to the new Boreal video that we posted! We’ve been scrambling ever since to finish up our new album…which thankfully, should be sent to the manufacturer shortly. ![]()

And we’ll have to manage all that from the road because….let the touring fun begin! We’re heading off momentarily to make our way up to Little Current on beautiful Manitoulin Island to play our first show of the tour tomorrow night at the Little Cafe in the Woods. And then it’s on to Bracebridge for Saturday night. ![]()
