In cuttin' and haulin', in frost and in snow, we're up against trouble that few people know…
Ontario's provincial parks evoke memories and confide stories: the cry of the loon; glowing campfires; friendships; Algonquin settlers.
Recorded in 1993, the Wakami Wailers' second album is inspired by the natural beauty and stories of Ontario's provincial parks. It includes original songs featuring lots of fiddle, banjo, accordion, and three part harmonies.
Available on Spotify and iTunes.
"Solid playing and earthy vocals."
"The Wakami Wailers hold Ontario's parks and their beauty responsible for both inspiration and solace... this record celebrates Ontario."

A collection of traditional folk songs from the lumberjack winter camps of the late 19th and early 20th century. Lush three part harmonies, fiddle, acoustic guitars, and mandolin dominate the recording.
Available on Spotify and iTunes.
"14 tracks that define the heroic, lonely and frequently dangerous lifestyle of logging."
"With jaunty rhythms and excellent vocal harmony, the Wailers have dug out some treasures of Canadian folk music from the archives and brought them to life."
