Imaginary Expedition

Folk duo with chamber music sensibilities exploring natural and emotional landscapes in intricate harmony and counterpoint.

Imaginary Expedition is a Toronto-based duo of Victoria Dobbs and Glyph Greenleaf who combine folk songwriting with early music composition techniques and intimate, unamplified performance practice. The ensemble draws people closer, quietly pushing the limits of what can be achieved with only their alto and baritone voices and a classical guitar.

The name Imaginary Expedition reflects the experience the duo creates. Their songs spark daydreams and send listeners on journeys through memory, grief, gratitude, and self-reflection. Their lyrics journey through emotional terrain shaped by the vivid changing seasons of the North, with imagery drawn from great lakes, old-growth forests, open prairies, wetlands, shield rock, and luminous skies.

The duo has appeared at JP Music Festival in Boston (2025), and Toronto’s Winterfolk Blues + Roots Festival and Toronto Folk Festival (2026). Their debut singles received airplay on folk and indie radio in Canada, the USA, and Australia. With the support of a FACTOR Artist Development grant, the duo has begun production of a full-length album.
