The Wyrd Sisters accidentally began their career in 1989 when three women (who had no previous musical experience) came together to share their 'hobby' of songwriting with each other. Their first show as The Wyrd Sisters was at the University of Winnipeg that same year. A friend asked them to share their songs at a benefit for a women's shelter soon after the U show. Mitch Podolak (founder of numerous folk organizations and festivals) heard them at that performance and asked them to play at the West End Cultural Centre. The CBC came to record that performance... and that summer they were playing at the Winnipeg Folk Festival.
TWS have not looked back from that moment. They have enjoyed performances across the continent, from folk festivals to concert halls to full symphonic backing, they have been on national and international TV and radio shows, they have five recordings, three Juno nominations, three videos (all of which received full play on CMT) and Best Group award in the folk category of the Prairie Music Awards. They have also been included on numerous compilations and have been hired to write and record theme music for video and TV shows. Much of their music, such as 'Warrior', 'The Faucet', 'Farewell to Clayoquot Sound' and 'Leave a Little Light' has been covered, recorded and sung by performers and choirs from across the globe.
The Wyrd Sisters have, like any family (and long time band), changed and evolved and grown over the years. Original founding member, principal writer and lead stage personality Kim Baryluk has remained the constant thoughout the band's existence. Like groups such as 'Sweet Honey in the Rock' and 'The Flirtations,' where members have come and gone over the decades, the band continues to create the same beautiful music and carry the same inspirational message as it always has.
International critics have recognized the original sound The Wyrd Sisters have created with a fusion of folk/jazz/pop/blues as being a uniquely Canadian sound which sets the standard for up and coming singer/songwriters.
I have to owe you and I am glad very much to make your acquaintance about this wide distance. You play fantastic music and your songs sounds very pure together. You are very much, very good musicians. I wish you a lot of success for your future. Peace and much love for you,
I LOVE your music so much! One CD in paticualr helped me get through two degrees with three kids in tow! Thank you for making such powerful and inspirational music!
down the hall I hear a voice. could it be you? In life do we have a choice. in all that we do. i dreamt about you so long ago If I found you , would i instantly know. the years may cloud my memory my loneliness may cause my eyes to see, something that isn't there. words by; Joe Hipkin
