  • Description

    Impeccable songwriting, masterful storytelling with three part Harmonies – Modern Canadian Roots Music from Red Moon Road.


    Sorrows and Glories is Red Moon Road's first full UK release. It was recorded by producer/engineer/Juno recipient, David Travers-Smith (Wailin' Jennys, Ruth Moody) and award winning producer/player Murray Pulver (Doc Walker, Steve Bell) and delivers the band's finest songwriting to date. Spanning a wide range of genres, from a Beatles-esque pop song, Words of the Walls, which muses the storied past of an iconic apartment block, to Beauty in These Broken Bones, a full-on spiritual backed by a star-studded choir, the three collaborative yet distinct writers frame immaculately crafted songs with original and innovative instrumental work. With tastes of Albertan country, Parisian aires, banjo driven anthems and the tradition folk storytelling in a Canadiana style, the music carries the stories as compellingly as the lyrics.


    "An instant favourite of mine, this band has been winning hearts and ears wherever they go. It's no wonder – their music could travel anywhere, from campfire to concert hall, becoming the constant companion that you can't wait to introduce your friends to. Their straight up folksy take feels simultaneously old-fashioned and thoroughly modern."
    – Tamara Kater, Folk Music Canada
