Karpinka Brothers

“…SOME OF SASKATOON’S FINEST.”—CBC
 
“CALLS TO MIND SOME OF THE LAST CENTURY’S MOST FAMOUS BROTHER BANDS.”—Exclaim!

The Karpinka Brothers release their new album You Can Count On Me on September 4.  Watch an exclusive album preview video via YouTube. The LP is the band’s third full-length release following 2012’s There's A Light. The band will be performing at the Regina Folk Festival with a full national tour to be announced soon.
 
The album was recorded live over the span of two days in the band’s hometown of Saskatoon at Full Color Music. The tracks were mastered by John Golden of Golden Mastering in California (Ty Segall, Sonic Youth, Explosions in the Sky) and mixed by S.J. Kardash (The Deep Dark Woods, The Sheepdogs).

“There are two very distinct personalities between us two brothers,” says Shawn Karpinka, lead vocals, guitar and banjo. “This is our first album to truly reflect that.”
 
Hailing from Saskatchewan, The Karpinka Brothers’ sound bridges a curious gap between Van Morrison, Joel Plaskett, and outsider artists like Daniel Johnston and their songwriting and delivery is honest, blunt, and heartwarming. They have shared the stage with songwriters such as Gordon Lightfoot and Tom Wilson. Their debut album One Brick At A Time (2008) charted nationally on college radio and received CBC airplay. Exclaim! called their sophomore release There’s A Light (2012) a “solid crop of catchy, up-tempo pop songs.” The brothers volunteer regularly to perform at the local long-term care home the Park Ridge Care Center.
