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.

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!
