October tour for The Deep Dark Woods

Thu 02 Jul 2026

For nearly two decades, The Deep Dark Woods have quietly established themselves as one of Canada's most compelling folk-roots bands. Led by founding member Ryan Boldt, whose distinctive voice and masterful songwriting draw comparisons to artists such as Bob Dylan, Bert Jansch, Rick Danko and Jason Molina, the band has built a reputation for creating timeless music that honours tradition while forging a path entirely their own.

Joined by longtime collaborators Geoff Hilhorst, Mike Silverman and Evan Cheadle, The Deep Dark Woods have crafted a rich and celebrated catalogue of albums and EPs, earning critical acclaim and numerous award nominations along the way. Their sound evokes the spirit of legendary groups such as The Band, Fairport Convention, Pentangle and the Grateful Dead, while remaining unmistakably their own.

This fall, the band returns to Europe, bringing their captivating live show to audiences across the continent. Known for performances that blend haunting harmonies, heartfelt storytelling and exceptional musicianship, The Deep Dark Woods continue to enchant listeners with music that feels both deeply rooted and refreshingly alive. The tour follows the release of Broadside Ballads, Vol. III, the latest chapter in the band's acclaimed series exploring traditional Irish, English and Scottish folk songs. The album beautifully reflects the group's enduring connection to folk traditions while showcasing the unique character and artistry that have defined The Deep Dark Woods throughout their career.
