Arthur Coates & Kerran Cotterell are carving out a name for themselves with their unique capabilities.
​
While some of their music takes a clean, modern sound and carves elegant, crystalline structures that shimmer and dance in the light of contemporary trad, others hop aboard the blues train and take a whistle stop tour of the Québécois traditional music line.
​
Their songs couched in complex harmonies range from complexly introspective and enigmatic, to exuding joy with an energy sure to get feet tapping and crowds singing.
​
Beyond this, their showmanship, drenched in tall tales and comic touches is sure to keep all audiences entertained. They excite, enchant, inspire, comfort, and spread love and joy to all those that hear them!
