Bio

Courage is a two-volume album which fuses elements of electronic, jazz and chamber music to Georgian Bay’s folk roots. The first volume, “Soleil” is a celebration of light and hope amidst the shadows of these uncertain times. The harmonized voices of Joëlle Westman and Kelly Lefaive remain the trademark sound of this Toronto-based bilingual duo who have actively toured since the release of their 2016 Polaris Prize nominated sophomore album, Patience.
