CANADIAN ROOTS POWERHOUSE DUO CARA LUFT & JD EDWARDS
“Luft and Edwards sound right at home together, and they may soon join duos like Mandolin Orange and Shovels & Rope among the ranks of Americana prestige. ” — PASTE Magazine
“Their vocal harmonies are second to none...⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ” — Mojo Magazine
“Luft is a Wailin’ Jennys alum whose work on the clawhammer banjo is to die for, while Edwards’ guitar and vocal harmonies deepen and enrich the duo’s sound.” — NPR Music
“From Winnipeg: Cara Luft plays banjo, JD Edwards plays guitar, and in moments they find the darkening chord change the best bluegrass—from the Stanley Brothers to Be Good Tanyas—has always hidden in the sweet slide of the rhythm, the tiny shift where the person telling the story suddenly understands it.” — Greil Marcus in Pitchfork
