biographical info

Drumlin transports you into the deep warmth of a captain's cabin,

Beneath the sails and stars...

To a place where the most compelling of adventures and romances are spoken of

And great vitality is found in light, shadow, and song. 

DRUMLIN has been performing and recording music for well over a decade. This vibrant, young, classically trained band first gained national recognition celebrating and working with some of Nova Scotia’s finest heritage music, hand picked from the Helen Creighton collection. Mackerel Skies charted in the ‘top ten’ on college and community radio stations, was embraced by CBC radio, and received great reviews, numerous accolades, and international airplay.

Drumlin’s new folk/rock album, Paper Flowers, to be released in March 2011, has a different twist. The album is composed almost entirely of Drumlin’s own songs, speaking of romance, hope, loss, adventure, and connection, including a single adaptation of a song fragment found deep within the Nova Scotia Archives.

“Our continuing progress has been very inspiring for us! We incorporated our own life interpretations into Paper Flowers. It will be a cross-generational approach to music, as it will feature songs written by Drumlin as well as songs from Nova Scotia’s historically rich culture.”  ~Anya

Drumlin's goal is to produce a high quality, historically valuable and marketable sound recording for Canadians, working towards continued local, national, and increased international recognition. Through hard work, professionalism, strategic marketing, savvy performance and excellence of product, Drumlin strives to continue making a long term contribution to the Canadian music industry.

“Drumlin has established themselves, over several years of careful and diligent development and management, as one of the East Coast’s most promising musical entities.”  ~Brookes Diamond

“Drumlin has proven to be one of the most durable and talented groups on the East Coast music scene. They consistently deliver a high quality of musicianship whether it is live or recorded…” ~John Wiles, Station Manager
