NEW EP: NOW IS A FAR COUNTRY
NOW IS A FAR COUNTRY
KEITHA CLARK/GRAEME POILE
Now is a Far County is a collection of original, Celtic fiddle tunes from the North, composed mostly in 2020.
Recorded live at Old Crow Studios, it was inspired by the simple, subtle lyricism of Irish instrumentalists such as Martin Hayes and Dennis Cahill.
All album sales support the Community Outreach Van. The van provides clothing, harm reduction kits, sexual heath & hygiene supplies, and nursing care to Whitehorse residents.
Many thanks to Jazz Yukon for making this EP possible.
