Whitehorse

Whitehorse is a Canadian folk rock band, whose core members are Luke Doucet and Melissa McClelland. Doucet and McClelland were both established and successful singer-songwriters in their own right, both before and after their marriage in 2006, but opted to put their solo careers on hold to work together as a band. The duo have released two albums and an EP on Six Shooter Records. They are currently based in Hamilton, Ontario. Historyedit: The band formed in 2011 out of Doucet's and McClelland's solo careers. Often performing and traveling together, serving as band members in each other's shows both before and after their marriage in 2006, they developed a deep mutual understanding of each other's work and a comfortable togetherness on stage. The band's "Johnny and June" style live performances employ a looping device to record passages of drums, percussion, bass, keys, and vocals to produce a full-band sound. Their intimate and unique on-stage performance style has done more than simply merge their individual styles into one; it has created a new sound altogether, a combined musical expression that has produced an entity that is greater than the sum of the parts. In June 2013, the album The Fate of the World Depends on This Kiss was longlisted for the 2013 Polaris Music Prize.
