For over a decade, Tiller's Folly have captivated audiences at thousands of performances with exceptional musicianship, compelling stories and their warm, inclusive, down-home stage presence. From the expressive and dynamic vocals, acoustic guitar and extraordinary songwriting ability of Bruce Coughlan, through the deep layers of musical and creative color added by award-winning multi-instrumentalist, Nolan Murray, to the driving, melodic foundation laid down by bassist and vocalist, Laurence Knight, Tiller's Folly is a high-energy acoustic roots music experience like no other.

Tiller's Folly have released an impressive catalogue of material. Covering a broad palette of the finest acoustic music, the band's output includes seven CDs, videos, and a complete DVD/CD package of live material. Their CDs have consistently topped sales charts and both albums and individual tracks have been nominated for and received numerous awards and distinctions.

Highlights include: A Ripple in Time picked as the top CD by the Indie Acoustic Project in 2003; 'Water at the Bar' voted the Top 5 Celtic Song of 2006 by Just Plain Folks; 'McCulloch's Wonder' listed as one of the Essential 75 songs of Canadian Folk by iTunes, and the DVD A Fine Kettle of Fish featured numerous times across Canada on the Knowledge Network in 2006.

This fall, Tiller's Folly is celebrating their 10th anniversary with the release their sixth CD, A River So Wide. This CD presents Tiller's Folly at the top of their game musically and creatively. It features 10 incredible new tunes that will appeal to music lovers everywhere. A River So Wide also features illustrious guests, including Grammy award-winning keyboard player Larry Knechtel (Simon and Garfunkel, Elvis, Dixie Chicks), vocalist John Cowan (New Grass Revival, Doobie Brothers, John Cowan Band) and co-producer, mixing wizard Stephen Drake (The Odds, Tragically Hip, Nelly Furtado), joining the core band of Bruce Coughlan, Nolan Murray and Laurence Knight.

A man stumbles up to the only other patron in a bar and asks if he could buy him a drink.

"Why of course," comes the reply.

The first man then asks: "Where are you from?"

"I'm from Ireland," replies the second man.

The first man responds: "You don't say, I'm from Ireland too! Let's have another round to Ireland."
"Of Course," replies the second man.

Curious, the first man then asks: "Where in Ireland are you from?"
"Dublin," comes the reply.
"I can't believe it," says the first man.
"I'm from Dublin too! Let's have another drink to Dublin."
"Of course," replies the second man.
Curiosity again strikes and the first man asks:
"What school did you go to?"
"Saint Mary's," replies the second man.
"I graduated in '62."

"This is unbelievable!" the first man says.
"I went to Saint Mary's and I graduated in '62, too!"

About that time in comes one of the regulars and sits down at the bar.
"What's been going on?" he asks the bartender.
"Nothing much," replies the bartender. "The O'Malley twins are drunk again."

Hi guys, sorry Bud and I missed you in Port Gamble. His band had shows the 2 nights before and he was just exhausted. It was sure tempting to leave him sleeping at home and head over myself though! We're seeing Gaelic Storm this Saturday night...hope it doesn't bring on any jealousy! lol. Looking forward to seeing you guys again,

Hey Guys.

It was so great to see you all last night. You all amaze me.

We made it home ok but had to return home the same way we went over. When all was done, we traveled 1090 miles in 31 hours round trip. It was worth every mile to see you all again and take in your show.

Look forward to the next time we meet up.

Hola! Thought I'd let you know...every Sunday the local paper has a rants & raves section and someone wrote in a rave for the relay for life for bringing the talent of Tiller's Folly to the area and commented on the 2 wonderful shows. Thought ya might like a little pat on the back! (and no, it wasn't me!)
