Good Lovelies
Canada
JUNO Award–winning roots-pop combo Good Lovelies, are 16 years into a career that has yielded four widely acclaimed studio albums, two Christmas collections (including 2019’s gorgeous Evergreen), two EPs, a live album, and a #1 single (“I See Gold” from 2018’s Shapeshifters) plus devoted fans in Europe, the UK, Australia, the U.S. and homeland Canada, where performances at Toronto’s historic Massey Hall are not unheard of. The talented and hardworking trio of Caroline Brooks, Kerri Ough, and Susan Passmore — guitar-wielding songwriters all, and queens of the goose bump–raising three-part harmony — wear age 16 with grace and ambition. The trio is poised to reach new heights in the coming year; there’s performing to be sure, but also tangible green initiatives, and a brilliant, sentient collection of new songs, written and produced in cottages across Canada. The best really is yet to come.
