For four years now, The Duhks, a band of five skilled, high-energy, tattooed twenty-somethings from Winnipeg, Manitoba, has been riveting audiences and winning staunch fans across North America and around the world. Since the release of their self-titled, Bela Fleck-produced album in 2005, as well as the consequent re-release of their Canadian debut, "Your Daughters and Your Sons", they've won admirers as diverse as David Crosby, Dolly Parton, and Doc Watson. This is not surprising, given their Duhks-alone blend of soul, gospel, North American folk, Brazilian samba, old time country string band, zydeco, and Irish dance music, and the attack they bring to these interwoven acoustic styles which might as well be called sheer rock and roll. Their unique sound has also earned them a Juno Award (Canadian "Grammy"), two Folk Alliance awards, and an Americana Music Association nomination for Best Emerging Artists. On the eve of their second major North American release- "Migrations" - the international acceptance and excitement generated by this band is still fresh enough to be something of a heady surprise for its young members. » read more
