WHITEHORSE
WHITEHORSE
Six Shooter Records' Melissa McClelland and Luke Doucet tie the musical knot with the debut of their new band, Whitehorse, marrying their talent and chemistry on stage as a smoldering duo. Gutsy and resolute in their pursuits of sound and substance, Luke and Melissa's fusion of the personal and professional brings to mind the road-tested romance of Johnny and June.
Individually, Luke and Melissa have been recognized with awards and nominations from the Juno Awards, the Canadian Folk Music Awards, the Hamilton Music Awards, the independent Music Awards and the Polaris Prize. Together, Luke and Melissa create music that cascades forth, rushing like currents fluid and electric. More than the sum of considerable talents, Whitehorse showcases the rarity of true give and take in partnership, uniting falcon with songbird to dramatic effort.
THE SUDDEN LOVELYS
The boy writes poetry, plays his guitar and sings. He sits on an old steamer trunk atop a bicycle seat and stomps his foot. He stomps so hard his right leg is larger than his left. The girl has a voice like the angels. She also adds a unique brand of hand percussion, though troubles tend to disappear when she sings. Together they're wonderfully unpredictable. Quiet pretty songs, coupled with those that will bite your head off is a common theme.
