Their stage presence is never lacking: rolling drums and warbling guitars create quite the cinematic scene when they take the stage.

—Portland Mercury

In 1988, Cowboy Junkies proved that there was an audience waiting for something quiet, beautiful, and reflective. The Trinity Session was a compelling whisper that cut through the noise, and it stood out amid the flash and bombast that defined the late ’80s. The now classic record combined folk, blues, and rock in a way that had never been heard before, and it went on to sell more than one million copies.

Formed in Toronto in 1985 with siblings Michael, Margo, and Peter Timmins on guitar, vocals, and drums, respectively, and Michael’s lifelong friend Alan Anton on bass, the band has sparkled over the course of 26 albums. Unlike most long-lasting groups, Cowboy Junkies have never broken up or taken a sanity-saving hiatus. There is an appreciation of one another that keeps them constantly working. Their new album, Such Ferocious Beauty, is slated for release on June 2.
