THE DUHKS self-titled release in 2005 won them universal acceptance as THE up-and-coming neo folk-rock band. Visually stunning, musically inventive, and emotionally stirring, THE DUHKS garnered massive critical acclaim, as well, topping year-end lists, winning a JUNO award, and successfully touring the world.
With the release of MIGRATIONS, THE DUHKS will doubtlessly elevate, as the talented young quintet continues to develop its singular brand of eclecticism with an album that is increasingly confident, personal, and distinctive.
On the eve of MIGRATIONS' release the international acceptance and excitement generated by this band is still fresh enough to be something of a heady surprise for its young members. As Duhks founder Leonard Podolak puts it, “It still blows my mind that yeah, we made a record, and now 40,000 people have it., and many have seen that first video (“The Mists of Down Below” which went to #1 at Bravo Canada), and so a lot of times now we’ll go to a gig in a town where we’ve never been before, never played a festival, but they know what we do—and they’re pumped!” Fans have recognized them walking in Times Square, and cheered them taking the stage at the huge Woodford Folk Festival near Brisbane, Australia.
