Zoë and the Lost Boys provide an intimate coffeehouse take on alt-folk, infusing warm vocals and elements of jazz with those more typically associated with the genre. The group is anchored by Zoë Robertson, who has aligned herself with a quintet of musicians playing a range of instruments from fiddle and mandolin to the customary guitar and drums. This allows Robertson and crew to create music that’s rooted in folk and country but expands into places with more depth and a fuller sound than we’re accustomed to hearing with this style.
After self-releasing Joints in October of 2011, the group hit the road to support the EP, focusing mostly on Quebec and Ontario with a coveted slot at Canadian Music Week 2012 and taking up a second home in Kingston, ON along the way. While Joints is sold out of its initial print, the band has made its songs available for free download from their website, leaving anyone who hasn’t heard them out of excuses.
