Sometimes revolutions begin quietly.
In 1988, Cowboy Junkies proved that there was an audience waiting for something
quiet, beautiful and reflective. The Trinity Session was like a whisper that cut through
the noise -- and it was compelling. It stood out in the midst of the flash and bombast that
came to define the late 80's. The now classic recording combined folk, blues and rock in
a way that had never been heard before and went on to sell more than a million copies.
Formed in Toronto in 1985 with siblings Michael Timmins on guitar, Margo Timmins on
vocals, Peter Timmins on drums, and Michael’s lifelong friend Alan Anton on bass, the
band has sparkled over the course of 26 albums. “I’ve known Alan longer than I’ve
known Pete,” says Michael. “We were friends before Pete was born.”
Unlike most long-lasting groups, Cowboy Junkies have never had a break up or taken a
sanity-saving hiatus. There’s an appreciation of each other that keeps them constantly
working. “It’s that intimacy and understanding of what each one of us brings to the
table,” says Michael. Cowboy Junkies’ will be performing a career-spanning show,
including their new album, ‘Such Ferocious Beauty’, which was released worldwide on
June 2, 2023 to universal critical acclaim.
