THE SMALL GLORIES will be performing on Saturday, November 16 at the Club Cafe in Pittsburgh. The duo, aka Cara Luft (a founding member of the Wailin’ Jennys) and JD Edwards,are touring for their critically acclaimed Red House Records debut, ASSINIBOINE [uh-sin-uh-boin] & THE RED. Featuring stirring harmonies, clawhammer banjo and songs that capture a sense of mood and place, their high-energy live shows and songcraft have drawn comparisons to Shovels and Rope, the Civil Wars, Mandolin Orange and others.
The album title refers to the two rivers that intersect in their home base of Winnipeg, Manitobaand the entire album has a sprawling feel of openness and wide-open spaces that evokes the vast Canadian Prairies.
American Songwriter wrote: “the Small Glories’ Cara Luft and JD Edwards generate so much energy together they could almost form a hurricane… thought blizzard might be a more apt metaphor for this Canadian duo.”
