Fools Tongue

Fools Tongue has been searching for the fine balance between commercial appeal and musical integrity since 2006 when they began their journey together in Edmonton, Alberta. Their music went through several stylistic phases before becoming rooted in the adult contemporary tradition (however, elements of pop, rock, and world music cannot be denied).

Fools Tongue is passionate about their performances and strives to communicate with, as well as entertain, their audiences. Each song has a story that the audience has to be let in on, and this is what Fools Tongue delivers. Whether it’s dueling percussion, intimate chats with the audience mid-song, or simply getting everyone to sing along, Fools Tongue turns a concert into an emotional rush. It is this raw energy that they captured on their latest 2013 release “New World.”

The new album crosses musical boundaries and has been influenced by artists like Peter Gabriel, Sting, Daniel Lanois, Sigur Ros, and other world artists. “New World” is a concept album that tells the story of a man’s journey in a world where dreams can become reality. It features a wide range of instrumentation and sounds; everything from a Chapman Stick, six-string cello-guitar, world percussion to a string section, and a children's choir.
