This show was absolutely amazing. We had front row seats and enjoyed every second of the GLS's performance! It had been 9 years since my wife and I last saw them in Phoenix, and this time we brought our 4 boys who are also huge fans. The boys also loved it! It was super-cool to meet Tony after the show for merch and photos! We cannot wait to see them again...

Beautiful music/harmonies. Really great to see them in such a small theater (Murray).

About Great Lake Swimmers
Featuring a blend of acoustic instruments, rural soundscapes, and wistful vocals, Great Lake Swimmers are a critically acclaimed indie-folk group led by songwriter/vocalist Tony Dekker. Based in Toronto, Ontario, the group emerged with a succession of heavily atmospheric albums recorded in old silos and rural country churches. The music has developed that pastoral warmth over subsequent albums through a continued vision to record and perform in acoustically unique and historical locales. They are renowned for their homespun folk and lush, intimate Americana in their live shows.
They have been shortlisted for the prestigious Polaris Music Prize and nominated twice for Canada’s Juno Awards, with the CBC calling them “a national treasure.”
Their latest offering is 2024’s double LP, “In Pieces: An Acoustic Retrospective,” an album of acoustic reimaginings of songs from across their 20 year, 8 album catalogue.
"A stunning variety of tones and textures… nothing less than both cerebral and sublime” - American Songwriter, 4/5
“It floats from country to folk to indie rock and back again, painting a sharp-toothed but achingly beautiful portrait of both the natural world and the human condition” - New Noise Magazine, Best Of 2023
“Dekker’s preoccupation with the Canadian state of mind flourishes in his lyrics. Few songwriters are able to convey the country’s harsh beauty as well. …Canadian folk tradition personified in the 21st century” – Exclaim!
“A minimalist, atmospheric compendium of songs with a sonic environment the listener can easily get lost in.” – The Vue
“Ambient Zen Americana” – Mojo
