Magpie is definitely not new to Guelph, but it may be new to you! It’s new to LF! But this album is ready to win you over – with four talented and distinct contributing singing-songwriters, and a five member band who have their own various respective projects, Magpie is one of those bands that just fills a room with warmth pulling from all directions. At some moments it feels like classic late 90′s/early 2000s east coast group legends like “The Guthries”. At other moments, like a cousin of Julie Doiron, or Great Aunt Ida. Then, moments later you’ll hear the influences of your favourite old country records and you’re teleported to the spirit of the Sadies. There are guitar riffs, singing saw, and flute! It changes and changes again. A family formed of friends. An instant old favourite, and one we’re glad to welcome to the group! Welcome, Magpie!
