Dyad

Old songs, new songs - obsessed with both obscure songs and creating their own sound, Dyad approach traditional American music with confidence and taste that has had music critics praising and listeners engaged. "So, are you from that area?" may be the most common question asked after shows. Years of studying old recordings and sitting around just playing and singing, theirs is music to soak up, to inhale. All arrived at old-time music from assorted musical backgrounds - classical, metal, indie-rock, punk, folk - maybe it shows, but probably it doesn't. As one reviewer put it, "The trio delivers their music straight up with few concessions to modern taste" (John Endo Greenaway, The Bulletin).

Their debut recording, "Who's Been Here Since I've Been Gone" garnered praise from Penguin Eggs Magazine (Canada) and fRoots (UK) while their second full length, "No Pedlars or Preachers" is now in finer record shops and online at www.copperspine.com.
