QUOTE THE RAVEN – COCHRANE HOUSE CONCERTS

Those of you who have been attending Cochrane House Concerts for a while will recognize the band as this will be their third time to Cochrane! Honestly, we were a little surprised when Jordan and Kristen reached out to play again, because it feels like they’ve outgrown our little series, winning major awards and playing major festivals in Europe and North America. Be sure to secure your seat with a $25 per ticket e-Transfer to tickets@willowspringsss.com now as this may be your last opportunity to see them in a small venue. And remember, as always, all the funds going directly to the musicians.

Quote the Raven, the acclaimed Canadian duo of Jordan Coaker and Kirsten Rodden-Clarke, have been enchanting audiences with their haunting harmonies and sharp wit for over a decade. Originating from Newfoundland and Labrador, their unique blend of Americana and East Coast folk has garnered them widespread recognition.

Their sophomore album, “Can’t Hold the Light,” which delves into the lives of working musicians, won the 2022 East Coast Music Award (ECMA) for Contemporary Roots Recording of the Year and received two Canadian Folk Music Award nominations. The duo has also been honoured as Music Newfoundland & Labrador’s Group of the Year in 2019, 2021, and 2022.

In 2025, Quote the Raven received multiple ECMA nominations, including Album of the Year for their upcoming release, Map the Dark, and Roots Release of the Year for their single “Already Gone.”

As of 2025, Quote the Raven has achieved over one and a half million streams across various platforms, reflecting their growing international appeal. With a dynamic stage presence, the duo has performed extensively across Canada and internationally, including tours in Australia, the UK and US. They have showcased at prominent events such as Folk Alliance International, AmericanaFest and AmericanaFestUK, Your Roots Are Showing in Ireland, and the Northeast Regional Folk Alliance (NERFA). Their engaging performances and authentic storytelling continue to captivate listeners worldwide.

We’re going to take a little break over December and January for hockey season, but we’ll be back with Lynne Hanson, February 20, 2026, Suzie Ungerleider (with Ben Sures and Matt Patershuk) March 12, 2026, and Iona Lane, March 28, 2026. More details about each of these shows, as well as some we’re planning in the summer, should be available early in the New Year.
