Canadian Folk Music Award winners Jocelyn Pettit & Ellen Gira share their new album "Here To Stay" out now on digital streaming platforms. Known for their vibrant blend of traditional music and contemporary folk influences, Jocelyn & Ellen have carved out a distinctive space on the international music scene.
Here To Stay is Jocelyn Pettit & Ellen Gira’s second collaborative release, following their award-winning debut All It Brings. The album is a vibrant celebration of home and travel, featuring 11 carefully crafted instrumental and vocal tracks inspired by the duo’s roots and global journeys. Since first meeting in Scotland, both musicians have returned to North America – a migratory path reflected in the album’s artwork, which features the Common Loon. Blending textured fiddle-cello interplay, French Canadian foot percussion, rich harmonies, and lively dance tunes, the album also features Montréal-based guest guitarist Everest Witman.
