“This is music of great strength and beauty.” – Georgia Straight

Celebrating the release of their phenomenal new album Uncle!, Pugs & Crows incorporate influences from tango and chamber music to avant rock and John Zorn.

JUNO Award-winners for Instrumental Album of the Year in 2013, their new album adds Marin Patenaude’s earthy, soulful voice to the band’s cinematic pacing, intricately embroidered melodicism, and gritty elegance. With evocative compositions and almost telepathic improvisations, the “rejuvenating, visceral and absolutely stunning” (CBC), Pugs & Crows features Meredith Bates violin, Cat Toren piano, Cole Schmidt guitar, Russell Scholberg bass, Ben Brown drums.
