The Sadies

The essence of The Sadies’ story can be summed up with the powerful image of the aurora borealis adorning the cover of Northern Passages. Ever since the quartet, comprised of singer/guitarists Dallas and Travis Good, bassist Sean Dean and drummer Mike Belitsky, first arrived on the North American scene 20 years ago, their music has never been less than awe-inspiring, with no embellishment necessary.
Recorded in the basement of Dallas and Travis’ parents’ home north of Toronto over the winter of 2015, the familiar surroundings and lack of distractions resulted in a consistent feel, despite the eclecticism at the heart of The Sadies’ sound. The psych-folk flourishes on tracks such as “Riverview Fog” are no mere homage; this is the sound of our inscrutable world, and how we manage to survive in it. Adding to The Sadies’ running list of astounding collaborators–Neko Case, Buffy Sainte-Marie, Gord Downie and Neil Young, to name a few–twang-folk troubadour Kurt Vile lends his signature vocals to album highlight “It’s Easy (Like Walking)”.
The band is currently on tour across Canada supporting fellow Canadian rock stalwarts Blue Rodeo. In March and April 2017, they will support Justin Townes Earle on a U.S. tour. See below for a full list of upcoming tour dates.
