Polaris Prize-nominated true grit country-rockers with a genuine Canadian edge.

The Sadies bring their signature blend of country, psychedelic, rock and surf into rifle-scope focus on their recent Polaris Prize nominated album Darker Circles, further underscoring their reputations as musicians’ musicians. Darker Circles followed up The Sadies’ acclaimed last album Country Club (featuring John Doe) and saw guitarist brothers Dallas and Travis Good, drummer Mike Belitsky and bassist Sean Dean again pair with legendary Jayhawk and sought-after producer Gary Louris.

Always at the top of the list when discussing musical chops and live intensity, The Sadies are now more intent than ever on making their mark as songwriters. In one turn as heavy as a sledge, and on the other flitting across melodies with the ease of so many sparrows, The Sadies prove once again that denying them now is simply prolonging your conversion
