You may recognize them from the decade-long run with Cape Breton group Coig, but Rachel and Darren are also well-established and respected solo artists in the traditional music world and their playing in this new project certainly lives up to that reputation.

Over the years, each has also gained recognition for their vocal abilities, most notably with Rachel receiving a 2020 Canadian Folk Music Award in the Traditional Singer of the Year category for Còig’s fifth album, Ashlar.

While Còig’s repertoire always included songs, the focus of the group was really on the tunes.

Rachel and Darren wanted to shift that focus for this project and feature their vocals more.

They take turns on lead vocals and harmonies, and the repertoire is split about evenly between songs and instrumentals.

Billed as a duo, they're traveling these days with Zak Cormier (PEI) on guitar, octave, and Acadian foot percussion.

The result is a cohesive collection of music performed by some of the top musicians of our times.

There’s an easy way about them, a sense of comfort that comes through in the music, in the mix of their instruments, the blending of their voices, and how the arrangements leave room for each other.

They seem to know just when to lay back and when it’s time to “give’er'.

**Doors open at 5:30pm for food and drinks.

There will be NO table service after 7:30pm when the show starts - please do come early!

Reserved seats will be held until 15 minutes after show time.**
