This morning I listened to the newest Canda Live podcast with Lake of Stew<\/strong>, a six-piece acoustic string band from Montreal, Quebec.<\/p>\n

On the band homepage you can find the following text about the band and it’s music, a definition that fits very well to what I have heard from the podcast and the videos:<\/p>\n

They sing all original, new songs, featuring great big vocal harmonies. Lots of people call their sound old-timey, but it ain’t, it’s new-timey, though it does recall a lot of old traditions all blended together. If you need a name to put to their sound, you wouldn’t go wrong with “good-timey”. Their live shows are energetic and fun, inspiring audiences of all ages to sing and clap and wiggle along.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I have found many youtube videos of this creative and interesting band. Here is a short video which was made when Lake of Stew presented their first album:<\/p>\n

“AIN’T TIRED OF LOVIN’<\/strong>” (CD) – first album, released May 2008 by us. Recorded live off the floor at home.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
