Since opening for Doc Walker, Prairie Jewel has grafted an edgy, urban cynicism into the best of Canadian folk music's storytelling tradition.
With voices that play like evening sun on dappled wheat fields, Sarah Hatherly and Katherine Johnson's crystal tones and rich harmonies hypnotize audiences. Their playbook swings from hymn-like acoustics in The Parting Glass, to a sharp-tongued, street/folk hybrid in their original Orange Girl.
With strong musical backgrounds, Prairie Jewel writes, sings and plays as only true blue prairie gals can.
Look forward to hearing more from Prairie Jewel in the days ahead.
