Boreal is very excited to be nominated in three categories for next year’s Canadian Folk Music Awards!
Boreal has launched the first two singles from their “Winterbirds” album. Click below to watch or head to Boreal’s YouTube channel to like and subscribe.
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 tucked away at “Boreal Band Camp” this week—deep in the wilderness, surviving on tea, harmonies, and questionable dance moves. Tour prep is serious business.
We’re thrilled and humbled to share that we’ve been nominated in three categories at the Canadian Folk Music Awards!![]()
Grateful for the music, for each other, and for the incredible community that has supported us along the way. 💛![]()
Thank you, @cfmas, for this recognition, and heartfelt congratulations to all the other wonderful artists nominated – we are smiling for miles.![]()
