Boreal…

Canadian singer-songwriters Tannis Slimmon, Katherine Wheatley and Angie Nussey form the powerhouse trio Boreal. Their album Winterbirds earned Canadian Folk Music Award nominations for Album, Ensemble, and Vocal Group of the Year. On stage, they are warm, funny, and deeply connecting, with exquisite harmonies and inventive vocal arrangements. Rooted in Ontario and Manitoba, Boreal weaves their stories into a unique sound where three distinct voices—earthy, improvisational, and untamed—come together in thrilling, moving songs.

Because Angie lives near Orillia and Katherine and Tannis live in Guelph, it can be a bit of a challenge to find the time and place to rehearse, write, plan, and talk about all things Boreal.So, we often head to one of our very favourite places…Les and Caroline’s house near Huntsville.Les designed the house specifically for music creation and recording, and he and Caroline have been incredibly generous in opening their home to us, welcoming us almost on demand. We feel so very lucky to have been given this incredible gift. It has given us a place to make music, make memories, and, perhaps most importantly, grow closer as a trio.And now…we’re all set for our Folk Canada showcases!Each of us has had an official showcase in the past, either as solo artists or with other groups…but never as Boreal. So we’re pretty freakin’ excited – and honoured – to finally have this opportunity together.We can’t wait to see so many of our dear, music-loving friends while we’re there. ❤️#bigfoot #sasquatch #BorealTrio #TourPrep #harmonytrio #HamiltonLiveMusic #CanadianFolk #OntarioFolk@angienussey @tannisslimmon @katherinewheatley @reallesstroud @Folk_Canada …

Yes indeed, we are thrilled to have not one, but two exciting opportunities in October to showcase our music at wonderful conferences….the Folk Canada Conference and the Alberta Showcase (Arts Touring Alliance of Alberta). These performances are just for the folks who are attending the conferences, but hopefully we'll be back to play in those areas soon, as a result of showcasing! …

Well, we’re back in Ontario with a wonderful collection of memories and very warm, happy hearts. What an experience we had at Lunenburg Folk Harbour Festival !Amazing weather, food, scenery…and, of course, PEOPLE. Nova Scotia certainly lived up to its reputation for being one of the friendliest places around. ❤️A huge thank you to the Folk Harbour Festival for having us, and to our incredible host couple and drivers. What would we have done without you?!And to the many volunteers, amazing sound techs, wonderful artists, helpers, friends and family—thank you for everything you do to keep the wind beneath our wings. We are so grateful.Here are a few photos from a wonderful weekend (and a special thank you to @therealdannymichel and @katevanderhorst – we borrowed a few from your Facebook pages : ). Hope to be back again soon!xo Tannis, Katherine, and Angie …
