Keep supporting independent music. Keep supporting local artists.
This album is very well done and we are so proud of the both of you.
“We wanted to make an album that We could listen to again and again across time. With a little help from some very talented friends, I think we nailed it.”
Joule & Riley (Tim Hus, Allen Christie, Amber Williams, Canadian Whitewater) met back in 2011 when she opened a series of shows for Tim Hus. Fate would bring them back together over a decade later to form Tubbman Junction, where her lyrical strength meets his innate understanding of all things with strings, and their heart connection draws audiences into their loving fold.
Joule writes with humour and depth, and has been compared with folk heroes like Guy Clark & John Prine. She delivers her stories with a strength and clarity reminiscent of Bonnie Raitt and Sarah McLachlan.
Among the best upright bass players in western Canada, Riley played as a side man for over 20 years, touring Canada and the Americas with a style influenced by Spider Bishop & Roy
Husky Junior. Riley’s closet skills on mandolin & guitar have a chance to shine and bring a bluegrass flavour to this folk duo, and his own compositions come alive betwixt her stories of love, loss, and country life on their debut album, Tales From the Trunk - featuring guest performances from Eliza Doyle (banjo), Mitch Dureault (fiddle: Sharptail), Quinn Legare (banjo: Hotdog! Bluegrass, Soil & Grass), and James Anderson (harmonica) - as they clean out the closet to make space for new collaborative creations to come.
