about

We called our debut album Songs From Home, to highlight our understanding of the idea of “home”, celebrating the multicultural place we are based, along with our roots in Poland.

This album is dedicated to all of the people who, like us, have made Canada their home: those who make music that brings people together; those who have created a new community, a new family, and a new home.

A big thank you to everyone that has helped us along the way.

We also acknowledge the support of the Ontario Arts Council and FACTOR.
