Three Chords and the Truth

Ex-pats of Ontario and Saskatchewan respectively, Aaron Burnie, Ryan West, and Jonathan Ostrander met one fateful eve on the muddy streets of Dawson City. The midnight sun in their eyes and music in their hearts, the duo set out to spread the gospel of "No guff, just good tunes." and Three Chords and The Truth was born. Since that day, "The Truth" have been shouting their charming folk melodies from the mountaintops. They've become musical fixtures the Yukon, often referred to in Dawson City as "local folk heroes". They've also become regulars at many festivals and festival workshops including The Dawson City Music Festival, and Frostbite Music Festival. Their debut EP "Three Chords & The Truth" was released in July 2009. It contains half a dozen original tracks laced with pastoral imagery of heartbreak, desperation, and a sense of place. A follow-up LP is in the works for 2012, as well as spring and summer tours of the "lower 10" provinces. Check your farmer's almanac for more details. Married to Plaid
