Toronto-based All-Girl Band Comes to Fox Island

Check out the Good Lovelies perform live at the Chapel on Echo Bay on Friday, Feb. 3.

They’re not your run-of-the mill “all girl” band. At a time when too many of us are affected by gloom, doom and recovering from recession these three women are the perfect antidote. Winners of the 2010 Juno-Roots Album of the Year (Group) and New Emerging Artists Award from the Canadian Folk Music Awards, the Good Lovelies are making waves across Canada and the U.S.

Described as folk-roots and western swing, the Toronto-based trio relies on unerring three-part vocal harmonies, clever songs and, onstage, convulsively funny repartee.

The Good Lovelies played their first show in December of 2006. Since then, they have quit their jobs, toured coast to coast numerous times, played countless house concerts, festivals, folk clubs and coffee houses, and released three albums. The Good Lovelies have toured with the Vinyl Café, have been on CBC Kids TV, and PBS “Girls from the North Country.”
