We hope you enjoy our first single 'Not Always'. We feel it is a song for the strange and challenging times that we are all living through. It acknowledges the very difficult experiences that many are facing but also offers hope. It is our pleasure to share it with you as a gift. You can listen to and download the song here, and you can also download the lyrics. Frieden, Reuben and Maisie
NEWS: The Gilberts Nominated for 2021 Canadian Folk Music Awards
We are delighted to be nominees for the 2021 Canadian Folk Music Awards in the Young Performer(s) of the Year category. The nomination is for our debut recording 'The Gilberts: One' released in 2020. It is very much a Covid recording. We had planned to record our debut in a professional studio in March but pivoted to recording at home as the pandemic changed - well everything. We decided that our approach to the recording should be very simple and pared down. All songs recorded live off the floor on one day, in one take, with one mic, in one room. 'The Gilberts: One'.
