Event Details
WYEP PRESENTS21+Doors 7PM Show 8PMFeaturing a blend of acoustic instruments, rural soundscapes, and wistful vocals, Great Lake Swimmers are a critically acclaimed indie-folk group led by Tony Dekker. Based in Southern Ontario, the group emerged in the early 2000s with a succession of heavily atmospheric albums recorded in old silos and rural country churches. The music developed in that pastoral warmth, performed and recorded in acoustically resonant and historical locales with a revolving cast of personnel. They are renowned for home spun folk and lush, intimate Americana in their live shows.Their newest album,Caught Light, out Oct 10, 2025, is their most immediate and instinctive album to date. Recorded in just five days in Ontarios Ganaraska Forest with producer Darcy Yates (Bahamas) and engineer Jimmy Bowskill (Blue Rodeo), it draws warmth from early 70s folk-pop while embracing a new spontaneity and directness in Dekkers songwriting.Great Lake Swimmers have been shortlisted for the prestigious Polaris Music Prize and nominated twice for Canadas Juno Awards, with the CBC calling them a nationaltreasure.
