The band is opening its 40th year together with a nine-show run in the Northeast, including a stop at Infinity Music Hall in Hartford on Feb. 19.
Hailing from Toronto, the band remains largely a family affair with siblings Margo Timmons (vocals) and Peter Timmons (drums) joining their brother, Michael, while Alan Anton (bass) rounds out the line-up which has remained intact since their founding. As he has been for many decades, multi-instrumentalist Jeff Bird joins the band on the road.
Considered a hybrid alternative country/folk band, their live approach transcends to a much deeper, more complex sound — often fusing elements of blues and lush psychedelic freeform, coupled with poetic lyrics.
The group says it will be going deep into its catalog during the February shows. They’ve put out 21 studio albums. The most recent, Such Ferocious Beauty (Cooking Vinyl/Latent Recordings) in 2023, was their first after a five-year recording break.
Following the Hartford date, the band plays Sacred Heart University Community Theatre in Fairfield on Feb. 21.
