Cowboy Junkies: Celebrating a 40-Year Musical Odyssey

Join Cowboy Junkies as they celebrate 40 years of musical brilliance, sharing their unique blend of folk, blues, and rock with fans old and new. With upcoming performances in Norfolk and Santa Barbara, the band's timeless sound continues to captivate audiences.

Cowboy Junkies: A Whisper Echoing Through Time

Cowboy Junkies proved that there was an audience waiting for something quiet, beautiful and reflective. The Trinity Session was like a whisper that cut through the noise -- and it was compelling. It stood out in the midst of the flash and bombast that came to define the late 80's. The now classic recording combined folk, blues and rock in a way that had never been heard before and went on to sell more than a million copies.

Formed in Toronto in 1985 with siblings Michael Timmins on guitar, Margo Timmins on vocals, Peter Timmins on drums, and Michael’s lifelong friend Alan Anton on bass, the band has sparkled over the course of 29 albums. “I’ve known Alan longer than I’ve known Pete,” says Michael. “We were friends before Pete was born.”

Toronto’s alt-country and folk-rock legends make their long-awaited return to Koerner Hall performing a career-spanning show from The Trinity Session to their recent album, Such Ferocious Beauty.

The group was formed in Toronto in 1985 by Margo Timmins (vocalist), Michael Timmins (songwriter, guitarist), Peter Timmins (drummer), and Alan Anton (bassist). The Junkies first performed publicly at the Beverley Tavern and other clubs in Toronto’s Queen Street West, including The Rivoli. Their 1986 debut album, produced by Canadian producer Peter Moore, was the blues-inspired Whites Off Earth Now!!, recorded using an ambisonic microphone in the family garage.

The group’s fame spread with their second album, The Trinity Session, recorded in 1987 at Toronto’s Church of the Holy Trinity. Their sound, again using the ambisonic microphone, and their mix of blues, country, folk, rock, and jazz earned them both critical attention and a cult following. The Los Angeles Times named the recording as one of the 10 best albums of 1988.
