For this episode of SLUG Soundwaves we had the pleasure of chatting with local folk group, Canyons. Maybe you've seen them around town, or happened to catch their NPR Tiny Desk Concert and recognized their harmonious voices. What started as friends sharing music and having fun, formed into Canyons, a three-piece group self described as “assertive folk.” Whether Kate Anderson is off flying a lakota helicopter or Hillary McDaniel and Secily Saunders are busy directing the Rock n’ Roll Girls Camp, they always find time to play music and constantly create. Having only formed a year ago this May, they’re in awh of the generous outpour of support they’ve received from venues and fans. Last summer, Canyons released their six-song self-titled EP, recorded in their own home studio, and headed out on their first tour. Guest artists Kanyatta kennedy and Heidi Middleton have joined them on their recently released full length vinyl, Sometimes Late at Night—recorded with Utah sound guru Mike Sasich.
