Three Metre Day

Players Hugh Marsh, Don Rooke and Michelle Willis make up this acoustic modern roots trio. The sound of the band features original songs in combination with old instruments, forming a strong, identifiable texture. As well as singing, Michelle plays portable pump organ, Don slide guitars, and violin by Hugh. Starting with a basis in folk music, Three Metre Day draws on its years of experience playing jazz (Don Byron, Jon Hassell), alternative (Mary Margeret O'Hara) and modern roots (The Henrys) to forge something distinctly their own. The band is currently mixing a full length CD of all original material for release in the fall of 2011, and performing a monthly residency at The Sixth gallery and concert space in Parkdale.
