Canadian Neo-folk Band The Duhks to Release Beyond the Blue in June 2014

Canadian progressive folk band The Duhks has announced the release of its new studio album Beyond the Blue, scheduled for June 24, 2014 on Compass Records. The Duhks return from a two year hiatus, energized by the reappearance of vocalist Jessee Havey and the addition of new members, fiddler Rosie Newton, drummer and percussionist Kevin Garcia, and guitarist and bouzouki player Colin Savoie-Levac.

“All of the people who have been in the band over the years, including non-touring founding members Tania Elizabeth and Jordan McConnell (who both appear on the album) have had a hand in shaping our sound and direction,” says The Duhks founder, banjo player Leonard Podolak. “The goal with the new record was to draw on everything we’ve learned over the years and everything we know about where we want to take the music now and create something as fresh, exciting and forward thinking as possible.”

Previous recordings include Your Daughters & Your Sons (2003), The Duhks (2005), Migrations (2006) and Fast Paced World (2008).
