Check out who lives on my leg now. @dylanaiello birthed this Albertacetatops (Big Al? berty? Bertha? Undecided) in what might be recorded history’s first tattoo- string arrangement exchange. 5 stars recommend going to LA and having him put art on you Dino-themed soundtrack by @wesleycorbett #tattoo #triceratops #dinosaur

well something crazy happened last night at the @canadianfolkmusicawards and we got to read a speech for our producer and friend Ben, Producer of the Year At our gig yesterday morning we got called “earnest” and brace yourselves, cause we’ve never felt more hearts-on-our-sleeves: congratulations forever to @benplotnickmusic ; working with you was a dream come true and we are so full of love and pride and gratitude and laughter about this whole thing (what a speech, truly) thanks a million to the CFMAs for making this weekend unforgettable. As Edmontonians, I don’t think we’ve ever been so happy to be in Calgary 😂 last year we got to make a beautiful record with friends old and new, and we are so thankful for them (though the true award recipient already thanked you we can’t do it enough): @jarredalbright @claire.lecocq @biboye.onanuga @theevstew @franalog @riverdale_recorders @kraitz @the_neon_eagle . and @yegarts made it all possible, which is so important these days and just the biggest most endless wave of gratitude and celebration to everyone in this community. all the artists we know, awards nominated or not, work so hard with great love and thought and passion to make such important art. nothing is the same without it.

We are so deeply grateful. Three nominations at this year’s Canadian Folk Music Awards! Being recognized alongside so many extraordinary artists this weekend in Calgary is something we don’t take for granted. To every nominee and every winner this weekend - congratulations from all of us. A huge thank you to Madeleine Roger for everything you brought to Glasswing. Making this record with you was a dream. Thank you Joby Baker for your incredible musical mind and spirit, and to Birthday Cake Records for being a dream label to be a part of. Lastly, thank you to the @canadianfolkmusicawards for building something so meaningful for Canadian music. Also - we ❤️ Calgary. #CFMA2026 #CanadianFolkMusicAwards #Glasswing #TheFretless #MadeleineRoger
