Brand new duo The New Customs release EP and head out west.
By The New Customs
The New Customs are the compelling pairing of Emma Cloney and Dale Brown. Hailing from the prolifically musical city of Winnipeg Manitoba Canada, the duo is poised to take the world by storm with their solid songwriting, heart-stirring harmonies and outstanding instrumentation. The splendid pairing of guitarist Emma Cloney’s haunting voice and the playing of award-winning, sought-after multi-instrumentalist Dale Brown make up the heart of their sound. In writing together, the pair effortlessly crafts tunes that range in flavour from folk to celtic to blues, yet always sound uniquely like themselves.
Having paired up only mere months ago the duo has hit the ground running with the release of their debut self titled EP recorded at "The Song Shop" in Winnipeg with producers Scott Nolan and Jamie Sitar.
The New Customs are set to take the music to the street as they head west on their first tour as a team.
“These guys are gonna go places!” - Leonard Podolak, The Duhks
While The New Customs are a new name, the pair has more than 20 years of professional musical experience between them. Equally at home at concert halls, house concerts, or festival stages, they are a diverse and dynamic presence. Driving guitar work, soaring fiddle lines, and two perfectly matched voices all combine to create a larger than life sound, oddly familiar yet entirely new, making it hard to believe there are only two people on the stage. Together, they are truly greater than the sum of their parts.
“...that kind of chemistry don’t come cheap, so stash that in a bottle in the trunk and run with it” - Daniel Peloquin-Hofner, Red Moon Road
With their full length album slated for release in early 2017 and coast to coast touring, the two delight in bringing their unique sound to audiences across the country. Constantly creating and gaining momentum by the day, the group’s future is bright and the possibilities are limitless.
