When Lost At Sea - The Wooden Sky

We were arrested on Aberdeen,
With empty hands and mouths to feed,
So I put my hands up and begged release,
And now Julia it seems,
That our honesty was brief.

This was the opening track for last night's show at the Grad Club. The Wooden Sky played an enjoyable set full of energy and raw emotion. This show was the kick off a of cross-country tour beginning in Kingston to further promote their sophomore studio album If I Don’t Come Home You’ll Know I’m Gone. Commonly described as folk-rock, this Toronto band had me at the first line of When Lost At Sea, referring to Kingston's own Aberdeen Street.

They also have a cool project called A Documentary in Pieces, which is a ten part documentary capturing their adventurous tour Bedrooms & Backstreets last August. Their recorded performances included unique locations, such as the hull of a boat, a canoe against rocky mountains in Banff, a gondola at the top of Whistler, & within a giant field of beautiful sunflowers.
