Not to put too fine a point on it, but the Good Lovelies are kind of having their moment.
That’s impressive considering the JUNO Award–winning roots-pop combo of Caroline Brooks, Kerri Ough, and Susan Passmore are more than a decade into a career that has yielded four widely acclaimed studio albums, two Christmas collections (including 2019’s gorgeous Evergreen), two EPs, a live album, and a #1 single ("I See Gold" from 2018’s smash Shapeshifters) plus devoted fans in Europe, Australia, the U.S. and homeland Canada, where performances alongside the Toronto Symphony Orchestra are not unheard of.
The trio is poised to soar even higher in the roaring 2020s on every conceivable front. There’s recording new material and touring, sure, but also tangible green initiatives, a plan to achieve gender parity in the studio, a bold embrace of the digital age, and the release of their "Live Taping Show" from February 2019 which found the Good Lovelies and their five-piece band in peak form before rolling cameras on a gorgeous stage in Huntsville, Ontario.
The talented and hardworking Good Lovelies — guitar-wielding songwriters all, and queens of the goose bump–raising three-part harmony —wear age 13 (they formed in 2006) with grace and ambition. The best really is yet to come.
