Home On The Range – Odder than the Otters Fall Tour

Indie-folk rockers, Odder than the Otters released their debut EP, The Port of Lopez, back in spring and has been steadily building their audience on a local scale. Armed with a new repertoire of songs, the group is ready to hit the road and sprinkle their upbeat dance numbers throughout Central and Western Canada.

Feeding Ambition

Life as an independent musician is hard enough. Now try being a mother-and-father folk duo raising three young kids, between writing, recording and running an organic grain farm in rural Manitoba. That’s the unique challenge that Kenton’s The Young Pixels, conquers to continue creating the music they love.

On the cusp of releasing their fifth record, ‘Fever of Becoming,’ (Out April 13) we spoke with Tricia Turner, one half of the married musical duo, about balancing life, internal turmoil, and the inextinguishable voice from your inner dreamer.
