Canadian Folk Music Award - Ensemble of the Year
The Little Lion just got back from Edmonton after winning Ensemble of the Year at the Canadian Folk Music Awards. The Big Lion was unable to be there so we have photoshopped him into the official photo... there wasn't quite enough room for him.

Album Review
We have a great new album review from Babetalk. Click here for more.
"The songs are jam-packed with emotion, partially due to the stripped-down production, partially due to the excellent lyrics, and mostly due to the indescribably affecting way that Helen Austin and Paul Otten harmonize and interact with each other on each song. Their voices are constant companions; instead of trading off and showcasing one voice at a time, as most bands do outside of choruses, Austin and Otten have chosen to sing each lyric together. To match the nuances of each other's voices perfectly on every line is a nearly impossible task, but Austin and Otten have clearly established a rapport with one another that leads to a closeness in their music unlike any act currently around."
