British Columbia's Sunshine Coast is a tranquil neck-of-the-woods beside the Pacific Ocean that resonates with a woody timbre. This unique place conjured up a definitive sonic quartet called The Rakish Angles. Newgrass, Latin, gypsy-jazz, old-time music. None of these styles were born there, yet they have given inspiration to the vision of these musicians, who hail from various locations around Canada. There's gentle counterpoint to the band and maybe that's why their music and performances strike a chord - they simultaneously say sweet and mysterious, novel and ageless. The quiet complexity is honest and musical and natural.

Since forming in 2007, The Rakish Angles - composed of Dan Richter (Guitar) Simon Hocking (Mandolin), Boyd Norman (Bass), and Serena Eades (Violin), - have been making their own unique sound. They have shared the stage with Tony Trischka, Doug Cox, Po'Girl, Celso Machado, The Red Clay Ramblers, Frazey Ford, Jesse Zubot, and Tanya Tagaq. In the process, they've earned nominations for a Canadian Folk Music Award in 2009 as well as Western Canadian Music Awards in 2010 and 2012.

Don't forget your hat!
