History[]

Founded in 2005, Ladies of the Canyon began their career playing small venues in Montreal’s popular Mile-End neighbourhood. At the time their music consisted mainly of "countrified" 1970s Californian soft-rock sound;[1] over time their musical style expanded to include classic folk and contemporary rock.[2]

The group released their first studio album, Haunted Woman, in 2010 through Kindling/Warner Music Canada.[3][4] In the three years following this release, Ladies of the Canyon appeared on stage with Broken Social Scene and The Dears, were nominated for a Canadian Country Music Association award. The band worked with producer Mark Howard to record their second album, Diamond Heart.[5] In 2012, during the recording of this album, Sargeant was replaced by drummer Tara Martin.[6] Diamond Heart was released in September, 2013.

In 2014 the Ladies of the Canyon toured with the Barenaked Ladies.[7]
