Quote the Raven, consisting of Jordan Coaker and Kirsten Rodden-Clarke, have been performing together for over a decade. The pair got their start in the small bars and pubs around St. John’s and in the past few years have rapidly grown to a household name around Canada and are steadily growing their clout on an international level. The dynamic duo have a harmonious blend that’s incomparable; it’s like the blending of two voices into one, while their Americana meets east coast songwriting and stage dynamic are irresistibly charming. With over one million streams across all streaming platforms, it’s clear that Quote the Raven has been catching the attention of listeners, and that’s apparent from their touring history as well. With one Cross-Canada tour, five Eastern Canadian tours, and two Western Canadian tours under their belts with more to come, the duo has performed at major festivals around the country. Festivals like the Vancouver Island, Vancouver Mission, Canmore, Bear Creek, and Lunenberg Folk Festivals, where they’ve performed to tens of thousands of attendees. The 2019, 2021, and 2022 MusicNL Group of the Year has had official showcases in the US, including Americanafest, NERFA, and the 2023 Folk Alliance, and has introduced their music to both Trinidad and Tobago, and Germany, with the hopes of continuing that global reach. Their sophomore album, titled Can’t Hold the Light, an album that delves into the lives of working musicians, won the 2022 ECMA for Contemporary Roots album of the year and has been nominated for two Canadian Folk Music Awards. It’s clear to see that Quote the Raven is on an upward trajectory with no slowing down in sight.
