With the rough waters of the Pacific around them and the wilds of the Canadian North above them, Vancouver Island’s The Sweet Lowdown has developed original acoustic roots music with a strong sense of place. This is mountain music to be sure. You’ll hear influences in this music as far-ranging as Celtic jigs, Appalachian fiddling, contemporary pop and that particularly Canadian blend of driving tradition and ground-breaking originality. The Sweet Lowdown draw from these influences, but are not beholden to them, and instead blaze a new trail with original songwriting and innovative instrumental arrangements.

“Harmonies to die for, fabulous playing, great original material.” Ian Anderson, fRoots Magazine
