Canadian indie-folk group Great Lake Swimmers will be performing at The Canadian Canoe Museum in Peterborough on Saturday, December 6.
The concert is part of the “Music in The Museum” series featuring Canadian musicians, launched this past May with a performance by award-winning roots musician Old Man Luedecke.
The ongoing concert series is held in the museum’s atrium, where the Silver Bean Cafe is located, with the mass timber and wood panelling providing rich acoustics for the performers and the audience.
Led by singer-songwriter Tony Dekker, the Great Lake Swimmers has earned critical acclaim and a devoted fan base since releasing their self-titled debut album in 2003.
The Toronto-based group is known for their distinctive sound blending Americana and atmospheric influences, along with poetic lyrics, lush harmonies, and acoustic arrangements.
Nominated twice for Juno Awards and shortlisted for the Polaris Music Prize, Great Lake Swimmers has released eight studio albums, with their ninth studio album Caught Light set for release in October.
