Bio

Canadian Folk Music Awards nominees The Gilberts are a sibling contemporary folk trio bringing vibrant three part harmonies, soulful lyricism and a melodious alchemy to their songs and stages. The Gilberts are Frieden, Reuben and Maisie. They were born in the UK but they grew up at music festival grounds around Nova Scotia, first as toddlers trundling around muddy or sun-baked fields, then when a little older they started stepping up to open mics. Soon people were asking them to perform at events, and then came invitations to perform on festival main stages. The Gilberts have performed at Lunenburg Folk Harbour Festival, Deep Roots in Wolfville, and Full Circle at Newport. They have played dozens of other gigs and developed a reputation for delivering engaging and memorable shows. Diverse musical influences inform their song-writing, performance, and choices including choral music, musical theatre, 1970s soft rock and pop, singer-songwriters, and folk music from the 1960s to the current scene. The Gilberts are 2021 Canadian Folk Music Awards nominees in the Young Performer(s) of the Year category. The Gilberts have received helping hands and words from countless musicians, educators and supporters who have shared their time and experience so generously.

Release: First single 'Not Always'. 

‘Not Always’ is a song for our times that acknowledges the sense of disturbance and uncertainty that so many are experiencing but carries a life-affirming message of hope and reassurance. The lyrics were penned by lead vocalist Maisie Gilbert, 17, in the days before her 2020 High School graduation with the pandemic in full swing. The song, arranged by the trio of siblings, was recorded a cappella and live off the home studio floor in one take with Maisie and her brothers Reuben and Frieden sharing a single mic.
