Here's a little bit about them: A Canadian acoustic blend of original, contemporary folk music featuring harmony, guitar, flute, mandolin, woodwinds, harmonica and a variety of percussion. What has six feet and 20 + instruments? Gopher Baroque - an excellent acoustic trio! Great track list! So, anyone else heard of them or know them? Just adding this: What A Proud Bunch! Gopher Baroque has been pleased to accept several honours over the years: We won the "Morbid song of the month" contest so many times the event was cancelled and we were presented with mini caskets; We are honoured to have a North American Folk Alliance award for education through folk music; In 2003, we were chosen to showcase at the North East Region of the North American Folk Alliance; Factor has awarded Dawn Callan with four new songwriters’ grants for compositions featured on our CD “Holdin’ Down the Fort”. "It's Colder Tonight" has been selected as both the lead poem in "Twilight Musings" 2005 International Library of Poetry and published in the Canadian contemporary poetry compilation "Surfacing" as an example of a Canadian ballad. |
