About event
With a mix of acoustic instruments, rural soundscapes and wistful vocals, Great Lake Swimmers is a critically acclaimed indie-folk group led by songwriter/singer Tony Dekker. They are known for their idiosyncratic folk and lush, intimate Americana in their live set. Based in Toronto, Ontario, the group emerged in the early 2000s with a succession of atmospheric albums recorded in old silos and rural churches.
Great Lake Swimmers celebrate their 20th anniversary in 2023 with Uncertain Country , an album where doubts are followed by discoveries and demos end up as finished tracks. Themes such as new beginnings, looking back and the fluidity of time form the basis of this album with eleven new songs.
