Indigogo fundraiser to record Sanctuary

SANCTUARY, the highly anticipated followup to our album Refuge. This ambitious, diverse, inclusive and
passionately artistic album puts our band face-to- face with a VIP roster of global ‘ambassadors’, some of whom are recent immigrants and refugees to Canada, as well as important Indigenous voices. All are masters of world music that tell the story of how to communicate with others through the global language of sound.

And we would love for you to check it out – we have set up an Indiegogo page to help us get started if you are inclined to pre-order or check out some of the other perks like private zoom concerts, coaching, lessons, or 10-year guest-list passes!
