An indie folk band whose music is dynamic, literate, and informed by equal shares of joy and sorrow, the Wooden Sky were formed by vocalist/guitarist Gavin Gardiner. Originally known as Friday Morning's Regret, they changed names by 2007 and released their debut album, When Lost at Sea. In 2009, they dropped their second album, the ambitious If I Don't Come Home You'll Know I'm Gone, which was nominated for Canada's Polaris Music Prize. A five-song EP, City of Light, was put out in 2011, and in 2012, the Wooden Sky released Every Child a Daughter, Every Moon a Sun; it became the group's first significant chart success and was nominated for a Juno Award. Let's Be Ready followed in 2015. ~ Mark Deming
