VIDEO OF THE DAY: THE WOODEN SKY

Every Child a Daughter, Every Moon a Sun, the third full-length by Toronto country-folk collective the Wooden Sky, is a beautiful, heartfelt record built around compelling, elegantly arranged narratives. Started by Gavin Gardiner in his bedroom, the Wooden Sky also features Andrew Wyatt on bass, Simon Walker on guitar and keyboards, and Andrew Kekewich on drums, who effortlessly come together on such emotionally honest songs as “Child of the Valley,” “Angelina,” and “It gets old to be alone.” At times the Wooden Sky evokes such troubadours as Neil Young, Steve Earle, and Bruce Springsteen; just try listening to “Your fight will not be long.” without thinking of “Racing in the Street.” The Wooden Sky will be playing the back room at Public Assembly on August 17 with the Drinkers Themselves, Kid Casanova, and Alex P and the Shoestring Revue.
