The Once

The Once are a celebrated folk trio hailing from Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada, known for their intricate harmonies and enthralling storytelling. Comprising the talents of Geraldine Hollett, Andrew Dale, and Phil Churchill, the trio has carved out a special niche within the folk music scene with their unique blend of traditional influence and contemporary flair. They emerged on the music scene with their eponymous album "The Once" in 2009, which showcased their ability to blend haunting melodies with lyrical depth, captivating a growing audience.

Over the years, The Once has garnered acclaim with a string of soul-stirring albums. With "Row Upon Row of the People They Know" (2011) and "Departures" (2014), they continued to build their reputation, offering an evocative mix of original compositions and thoughtful interpretations of traditional tunes. Their 2016 release "We Win Some We Lose" and the introspective "Time Enough" from 2018 saw the band mature in their artistry, further solidifying their position in the contemporary folk landscape. The trio's commitment to their craft is evident in their discography, including the heartfelt holiday collection "This Is A Christmas Album" and the stripped-back charm of "Acoustic Vol. 1ce," stripping their songs back to their raw emotional core. The Once's music remains a heartfelt reflection of their roots and an enchanting homage to the power of storytelling through song.
