The Wynnes are a new group on the east coast scene, but their long resume of solid songwriting and reputable musicianship is worth noting.

He was nominated for Traditional Singer of the Year at the 2009 Canadian Folk Music Awards. He has also performed with and composed music for the ECMA nominated jazz group, Stephane Bouchard and La Funk 6.
The recording is being produced by James Phillips (producer of Catherine MacLellan, Saddle River String Band) and includes Gordie MacKeeman (Nudie and the Turks, Grass Mountain Hobos) on fiddle and James Phillips (Saddle River String Band, Slim Jim and the Brothers Grimm). The depth of talent and reputation makes this group worth a listen
