For nearly 20 years Toronto’s Beyond the Pale has been creating boundary-busting Eurofolk fusion. Inspired by Klezmer and Balkan styles but influenced by everything from jazz and classical music to bluegrass and reggae, Beyond the Pale’s music traverses a vast and exotic musical landscape.
Their stellar musicianship, meticulous dynamics, adventurous compositions, and inventive arrangements of traditional material make them one of Canada’s most innovative acoustic ensembles.
Having performed at festivals, theatres, and clubs across Canada, the USA, Europe, Australia and Brazil, they have received wide critical acclaim and many honours for their recorded work including three Canadian Folk Music Awards with seven nominations. Their latest release, Ruckus, is a richly textured album that captures the band’s range from delicate chamber-folk to exuberant, village-style party music.
