A nomadic tribe of multi-instrumentalist songwriters (most of whom are siblings), from Cortes Island, the Awakeneers offer a genre-bending blend of acoustic positivity that orbits elliptically around the idea of folk music.
Segueing from a foot-stomping fiddle tune to a hip-hop guide to mindfulness, or a meditative love song to Mother Earth, their music centres around honest vocals with rich harmonies and diverse acoustic instrumentation.
Since their early days as small-town buskers, this unique musical family has toured North America and Europe by sailboat and by van, playing for folk clubs, festivals, ecovillages, and congregations of all faiths.
