COWBOY JUNKIES // 03/02/12 // 7:30 PM

The Cowboy Junkies, a Canadian alt-country/alternative rock band with a jazz twist, was formed in Toronto in 1985 by three siblings and a friend. Their first album Whites Off Earth Now!! debuted in 1986 and was recorded in the family garage. The group's fame spread with their second and best-known album The Trinity Session, recorded in 1987 at Toronto's Church of the Holy Trinity. Their unique sound, a mix of blues, country, folk, rock and jazz, earned them both critical attention and a cult following. The band was nominated for Group of the Year at the Juno Awards in both 1990 and 1991. The group continued to tour and in 2008, they released Trinity Revisited in celebration of the 20th anniversary of the original recording of The Trinity Session. The Cowboy Junkies continue to release albums on their own independent label, Latent Recordings.
