DESCRIPTION: Diverse instrumentation and soaring five-part vocal harmonies characterize the unique alternative folk sound of Halifax-based band, The Barrowdowns. Born in a cold dark Albertan winter in 2014, the band is the brainchild of Halifax musicians Kendra Breen and Rowan Swain (both also of Halifax band, The Lucy Grays). Upon their move back to Nova Scotia, the duo joined up with veteran Halifax musicians Dave Fultz (Liars on Fire, Willie Stratton, and Second Band), Adam Martin (formerly of This Ship), and Neal Read (Liars on Fire) to create a unique brand of folk music that is both energetic and haunting. With gripping songs that stick with you long after the last chord has rung out, the The Barrowdowns create music that will keep you spellbound–even while you stomp your feet.
