Old songs, new songs - obsessed with both obscure songs and creating their own sound, Dyad approach traditional American music with confidence and taste that has had music critics praising and listeners engaged. "So, are you from that area?" may be the most common question asked after shows. Years of studying old recordings and sitting around just playing and singing, theirs is music to soak up, to inhale. All three musicians arrived at old-time music from assorted musical backgrounds - classical, metal, indie-rock, punk, folk - maybe it shows, but probably it doesn't. As one reviewer put it, "The trio delivers their music straight up with few concessions to modern taste" (John Endo Greenaway, The Bulletin).
Their debut recording, "Who's Been Here Since I've Been Gone" garnered praise from Penguin Eggs Magazine (Canada) and fRoots (UK) while their second full length, "No Pedlars or Preachers" is out in now in finer record shops and through Festival Distribution in Canada.

We had the great pleasure of getting into the studio over the holidays to yesterday demo three songs. Sometime, Times Get Hard and Hurt Me. Let us know what you think of the results, Paul

I greatly enjoyed jamming with you on the 11th floor of the Hilton hotel here in London. Come back real soon if you are able, I'd most likely be able to set you up with a gig if your ever going to be in this area again.
