The Small Glories in Concert at The Dakota Tavern in Toronto!

Folk powerhouse pair The Small Glories - Cara Luft and JD Edwards - are bringing their signature vocal blend and visceral live performances to Ontario and Quebec this March. The duo will be performing an early evening concert in Toronto next Wednesday March 22 at The Dakota Tavern. Showtime is 7 pm, tickets are $10 adv/$12 door. The 2016 Canadian Folk Award nominees have spent the past 2 years building an international buzz around their tight harmonies, authenticity, dynamic shows and equally well-matched guitar prowess, something that doesn’t come around often. Cara packs a mean banjo as well.

A self-professed “study in contrasts,” Luft's folkie yin proves a perfect match for Edwards’ rocker yang. Many know Cara as a founding member of country/folk sweethearts The Wailin’ Jennys. In this new project, it's clear that JD just might be her musical soul mate. Thrown together purely by accident for an anniversary show at Winnipeg’s venerable West End Cultural Centre, The Small Glories is a partnership that could almost make you believe in fate. The Winnipeg Free Press asks, "can two singer-songwriters be better than one? Yes, emphatically, yes, if the two in question are Cara Luft and JD Edwards... It’s our loss they didn’t [join forces] sooner... It’s magic.”

Their 2016 debut album “Wondrous Traveler” is steeped in classic song structure, delivering instantly appealing melodic Americana with first-rate playing. Reviews in Pitchfork, No Depression, Songlines and R2 have brought international attention to the duo. The album found its way onto many critic’s Top 10 lists across North America and Europe, and The Small Glories are finding themselves on stages from Vancouver to London and beyond.

Together, Luft and Edwards are a musical tour de force, a case of 1 + 1 = 3. http://thesmallglories.com
