The Hello Darlins

Making a name as the biggest breakthrough artist on the international Americana scene with their debut album Go By Feel, Canadian folk/country/roots collective, The Hello Darlins have returned with a double album titled The Alders & The Ashes.

Led by Romani-Canadian musician, Candace Lacina and world-renowned keyboardist Mike Little, The Hello Darlins are some of Canada’s most in-demand session & touring musicians who came together to forge a distinct hybrid of country, gospel and blues.

With millions of streams and three Canadian Folk Music Awards nominations, The Hello Darlins took the show on the road for 187 days in 2023 - proving that the band sounds just as powerful on stage as it does in the studio.

Referred to as a “ONE-BAND AMERICANA FESTIVAL” European audiences had the first chance to see them when the band showcased at AMA UK, and Canada Day in London’s Trafalgar Square plus a date with Lucinda Williams at Paradiso in Amsterdam.

From there, The Hello Darlins joined with their friend Matt Andersen for a cross-Canada tour. Playing sold out shows in revered venues such as Massey Hall, they delivered a tight uplifting show that highlighted the musical skills of each member.

The new album was recorded at United Recording Studios with multi-Grammy winning engineers Ross Hogarth and Mike Poole mixing. Contributions from bassist Bob Glaub (Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, John Fogerty) and drummer Chad Cromwell (Neil Young, Brian Wilson, Dolly Parton).
