River Poets

River Poets are a Canadian duo that built their foundations in the heritage and tradition of their Canadian homeland. Brothers Jo and Cabel Johnson explore the vast, endless realms of Canada’s wilderness and history and relate it to their memories and surroundings, bringing it to light through their own brand of Canadianity folk-rock. On their eponymous debut EP, the band writes songs ‘for all Canadians’ that namecheck a number of provinces, cities, and towns, and delve into historical tales tied to this land. The concept is as grassroots as it comes and the brothers’ delivery is exceptional.
