New Album Release: 'Tell Me'. Available January 16 2021
The Gilberts Nominated for 2021 Canadian Folk Music Awards
We are starting out 2021 by releasing the follow-up album to our Canadian Folk Music Awards nominated debut recording. ‘Tell Me’ is released Saturday January 16 here and on Bandcamp. We would love it if you would help us launch the album by joining us for a virtual concert on our YouTube channel at 7:00 PM Atlantic Standard Time! If you can’t make it at 7, the concert will be available to watch anytime. ‘Tell Me’ takes four songs from our debut recording 'The Gilberts: One' and gives them a much fuller multi-tracked sound closer to our original intent before Covid caused us to make a virtue of necessity with a more pared down sound on our debut. And, we have added more songs that we feel are among our best so far. So please join us for our concert on YouTube, and take a listen to ‘Tell Me’.
Hoping to see you, hear from you, and be heard by you in 2021!
Frieden, Reuben and Maisie
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'.
The albums 'The Gilberts: One' and 'Tell Me' are elements of a larger project for which we acknowledge the support of the Canada Council for the Arts.
The Gilberts bring soulful lyrics, memorable melodies and close three part harmonies to their original songs. The 2021 Canadian Folk Music Awards nominees are siblings Frieden, Reuben and Maisie. Influences include folk and contemporary folk, singer-songwriter, musical theatre and choral music. They have performed at Lunenburg Folk Harbour Festival, Deep Roots, Full Circle, soft-seat theatres, weddings and celebrations, house parties, eateries, bars and many other venues.

Avondale Sky Winery: "As all festivals had to be postponed in 2020, including our traditional Garlic Festival, we wanted to find a way to support our local garlic vendors.

Running from August 29th to September 27th, every Saturday and Sunday, from 11:00 am to 5:00 pm.
