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” which is available on CD.
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.

Hello friends in the Guelph area! ![]()
We are so excited to be filming a video for “Shepherd of the Road” this Friday! But oops—yesterday we realized we forgot the star of the show: a transport truck!![]()
![]()
If you have a truck or know someone who does (or maybe a business that would let us borrow one…not to drive, of course…just to sit in and around for an hour or two), we’d be forever grateful!![]()
Many thanks in advance! ![]()
keep truckin’![]()

PS. It doesn’t have to have Tannis written on it. And it could be a ‘retired’ truck in a truck graveyard, wheels or no wheels.
🎶 Hey Boreal family! Although a bit late in posting, we’re still buzzing with excitement after having an absolute blast at the Blue Skies Festival, Aug 2-4th! It was a weekend full of joy, connection, and, of course, amazing music. ![]()
![]()
It was Angie’s first Blue Skies so of course we had to partake in the square dancing. And it was Katherine’s first time helping lead the Blue Skies choir (with Jane Lewis)…what a blast!![]()
![]()
A huge shoutout to AD Kate Weekes and the incredible Blue Skies Festival team (of volunteers) who made the event so special. We’re already counting down the days until we can join the celebration again!![]()
![]()
PS. Big thanks to Andrew Hall for the first picture taken during the ‘Voices Raised in Song’ workshop on Sunday morning. ![]()
