Last Birds is the offspring of Canadian Folk Music Award nominated artists, Lindsay Arnold and Mike Davis, hailing from North Portal SK. Using their small prairie hometown as a backdrop, Last Birds weave together rural legends and current day experiences to form a modern prairie gothic. Their songs veer away from overly romanticized views of small town life to peer into the dark corners of the local bar, peek in the windows of an abandoned house down the street and pine for something or someone beyond the veil. Their two voices two guitars approach is steeped in early country folk influence and provides an intimate storytelling experience audiences have repeatedly described as mesmerizing. The duo was nominated for multiple awards in 2021 and 2022, including Saskatchewan Music Awards’ Roots/Folk Artist of the Year. Last Birds released their first full length album, Endless Turn of Day into Night, October 20th, 2023.
