The Bombadils Canadian Folk Music Award nominees The Bombadils bring together bluegrass, Celtic, and contemporary folk music with front-porch style and classical grace.

Canadian arts journalist Bob Mersereau describes their music as "folk tunes done with musical adventure and sophistication" and Elmore Magazine calls it "an enchanting folk romp." The Bombadils met in 2009 while studying music at McGill University in Montreal, Québec. In the years to follow, they began recording and touring throughout Canada, and internationally. Tour highlights include Koerner Hall in Toronto, ON, Tivoli Gardens in Denmark, and Wintergrass music festival outside Seattle, WA. In 2015 they released full-length album, "Grassy Roads, Wandering Feet," quickly followed by "New Shoes" in 2016 which was nominated for two Canadian Folk Music Awards and won Folk Music Ontario's Album of the Year award.

I sang this song at grade 12 grad with some friends, as an Edmonton kid in love with music from Atlantic Canada. I never expected that the next time I'd sing it would be 19 years later, as a Haligonian, at a rally protesting arts budget cuts (and so many more cuts that affect important community programs). 💔 It was beautiful to hear everyone sing together - let's keep going! Come to the rally at Province House tomorrow, March 10th, at noon. If you haven't yet, please write your MLA, especially if you're in a PC district, and invite your neighbours to as well! NS Arts Coalition website has helpful guidance if needed.

🎶 "We Rise Again," written by Leon Dubinsky, recorded by the Rankin Family.

🎹 Terra Spencer and 🎤 Stewart Legere - it was a privilege to be up there with you!

Thank you 🎥 Sean MacGillivray for this video and for being an awesome sound tech amidst the chaos.

All my love to Luke Fraser - who was holding down the fort and doing essential childcare activism, making sure the wee one could have a quiet place to nap while I went and sang some high notes. 💕

Whoa, we published this ad just over a week ago and we're blown away by the response! We might be slightly buried in envelopes right now, 😅 but I must say we're very much in awe that so many people will soon have a fresh CD or two showing up in their mailbox. We're really enjoying making the cute doodles with sea glass too. It's a great feeling to combine old communication with new...connecting first online and then with old-fashioned snail mail. Thank you all for this sweet bit of connection, and most of all, we're really excited for you to hear the music! We tried our best to make something from the heart. 💓
