Live Music at The Nick presents Two Crows For Comfort with opening act Dave McCann

Two time Manitoba Country Music Association Roots Duo/Group of the Year, Two Crows for Comfort, are a touring folk/Americana duo.  Known for their comedic storytelling and off-the-cuff stage banter, the duo promises a show full of positivity, laughter and even a singalong or two.  These wandering troubadours live on the road full-time in an 18 foot camper.  They've opened for the likes of Bruce Cockburn, Ani DiFranco, David Amram, and Pokey LaFarge. Amidst their relentless touring schedule they have written and recorded three full length albums, the most recent titled Next to Me. Harmony singing is key to roots-folk music and Two Crows have nailed that perfectly. What differentiates them within their genre are uniquely arranged original songs that allow their voices to blend and bend around the stories within their lyrics. This is acoustic folk music at its best. Cory’s light-hearted, funny, between-song banter makes the show even better.

 Dave McCann has firmly established himself as one of the best untold singer-songwriters working in contemporary roots music.  Soothsayer’s Blues, his latest album, is a communion with history and an exploration of the mythology of the American South. “Those first Blues artists offered more than just songs. They showed us a path. They showed us how to find joy in defiance of those who choose to darken our world.  Mississippi holds some real strong magic when it comes to that kinda song-lore. I went there chasing those ghosts. What I found was a spark. That’s the folk process…You don’t just play the songs, you carry them forward.” The songs are grounded in a timeless magic, steeped in the shadows of the human spirit and wrapped in echoes of the Blues, Country and Rock ‘n’ Roll. A humble reminder of the power of songs and their enduring ability to reflect, reveal, and heal.
