Songs for a Sunday: The Small Glories

How do I find the musicians to feature on Sunday? Often I’ll catch a snippet of a song on the radio of see them featured on a music show.

If a band can draw you in after a few measures, there’s something special in the music.

Not too bad, right? But that wasn’t the first song I heard from them. It was Oh My Love.

I know what you are thinking. What a great American duo, playing that down-home Appalachian folk inspired country music.

And you’d be wrong. You’re way off. The Small Glories is a Canadian folk duo from Winnipeg*, Manitoba. composed of Cara Luft and J.D. Edwards

*Fun fact: Winnipeg is home the the NHL’s Winnipeg Jets who have stared their season 10-1 and are first in the standings. Now fans are on the edge of their seats wondering when that bubble will burst.
