The Deep Dark Woods
In the space of twenty years, The Deep Dark Woods has grown into one of Canada’s best folk-roots ensembles. So it’s no surprise that the band has won one award after another in its home country (Best Roots Group, Ensemble of the Year, CBC’s Great Canadian Songquest, etc.). The subtlety and nuance of founder and frontman Ryan Boldt, who follows in the footsteps of icons such as Bob Dylan, Bert Jansch, and Rick Danko, translate into dark vocals, sweet melodies, and rich stories that are enjoyed worldwide. With ‘Broadside Ballads Vol. III’ (2024), the trio brings a familiar melancholic warmth to a collection of traditional folk songs that span centuries and continents. Expect songs that beautifully color the evening once the sun has set.
