Their stage presence is never lacking: rolling drums and warbling guitars create quite the cinematic scene when they take the stage.

In 1988, the Cowboy Junkies proved that there was an audience waiting for something quiet, beautiful, and reflective. The Trinity Session was like a whisper that cut through the noise—and it was compelling. It stood out amid the flash and bombast that came to define the late 1980s. The classic record combined folk, blues, and rock in a way that had never been heard before, and it went on to sell more than one million copies.

Formed in Toronto in 1985 with siblings Michael Timmins on guitar, Margo Timmins on vocals, and Peter Timmins on drums, plus Michael’s lifelong friend Alan Anton on bass, the band has sparkled over the course of 26 albums. Unlike most long-lasting groups, the Cowboy Junkies have never broken up or taken a sanity-saving hiatus. There is an appreciation of one another that keeps the band constantly working.
