The CBC Searchlight contest was a blast (though relentless voting pushing- yikes) and it gave us the opportunity to share new music and broaden our listening audience! The entry song ‘Write About It’ received air time on CBC radio during the contest.. and appeared on Grant Lawrence’s Stand Out List ( he picked one from each of the 24 regions)!! Being on Grant’s list made us feel like we’d won! We made it to the third round to the Top Ten Regional Finalists (from 350). Thank you to all who voted and to CBC for your amazing support!! Our new EP, ‘Journey Home’ is mastered and the music is complete! The album artwork is being designed as this is being written, and soon we will release this new music and we are so excited to share it with you! Happy summer!
Our Story
Acclaimed Canadian folk - pop singer songwriters Kyra and Tully launched their fifth studio release, TIME, in November 2020.
The full length album's 11 fully produced original songs span more than two decades of the couple's story, from before the two met, to songs written more recently. The songs are filled with heartfelt lyrics and voices with layers of harmonies woven in orchestral instrumentation. The lyrics explore everything from the joys and challenges of parenting, to the delights of nature, love and an acknowledged shared humanity.
TIME was recorded at Leopard Frog Studio, in Battersea, Ontario by co-producer, engineer and musician Chris Coleman (Nightsun, Nuvu Music), who also did some of the mixing at his studio in Iqaluit, Nunavut. From May to November, 2019, Kyra and Tully and their stellar musical friends continued to add to the album, working on it slowly in between stays in a cabin nestled in the woods (100-acre bio dynamic farm); trips to a remote beach, and travels in and around Europe.
A transformative musical journey, TIME is inspired by the changing weather of the seasons and in our own selves, exploring inner and outer landscapes. It is at once self-reflective and observing of the wider world. With this album, both Kyra and Tully seek to share the gift of their music and its presents all through TIME.

TIME is now available to order on VINYL Record, CD and Down Load Card- that includes a SongBook with lyrics and chords, featuring 14 original paintings by wildlife artist Lisa Fergson!
