The Small Glories (Folk Duo)

Campus Theatre, downtown Lewisburg
Roots powerhouse duo The Small Glories are Cara Luft and JD Edwards, a
musical tour-de-force partnership planted on the Canadian prairies. Thrown
together purely by accident for an anniversary show at Winnipeg, Canada’s
venerable West End Cultural Centre, The Small Glories could almost make you
believe in fate.
With a stage banter striking a unique balance between slapstick and sermon,
these veteran singer-songwriters have a way of making time disappear, rooms
shrink and audiences feel as they are right there on the stage with the
band — writing the songs, living the songs, performing the songs. It’s not
uncommon for listeners to find themselves laughing, dancing, crying or
caught up in a good ol’ fashioned sing-along.
The material of a Small Glories’ concert is welcoming in terms of subject,
folk-pop melody and instrumentation — songs of love, loss and environment,
delivered with soaring, interwoven vocals on various combinations of
stomping claw-hammer banjo, guitar and harmonica. However, a Small Glories’
performance is really about what happens between the songs.
On the heels of winning International Folk Music Awards Artist of the Year
in 2019, the highly anticipated sophomore album Assiniboine & the Red was
released on Compass/Red House Records, and went on to no. 1 Album of the
Year (Penguin Eggs Magazine) and to win Canadian Folk Music Awards
Contemporary Album of the Year in 2020.
