Intimate folk duo Fawkes & Hownd is purely authentic. Blending Canadian and American roots, Phöenix Lazare and Justin Kelley have created a songwriting style that feels as if they’ve invited you into their living room, sharing personal stories.
Partners in life and in music, Fawkes & Hownd met studying at Berklee College of Music in Boston. The duo made an introduction with their 2019 EP Balancing Act, a five-song collection recorded live in Nashville that carries themes of growth, reflection and hope. Their songs chronicle journeys from small towns — Phöenix from Salt Spring Island, BC and Justin from Byfield, MA — to big cities and everything in between.
Sharing new music for the first time in five years, Fawkes & Hownd are debuting a refined sound with their new EP Backroads out June 7th. The project features four original songs recorded at Barnhouse Sound Studio in Qualicum Beach, British Columbia.

At the center of Fawkes & Hownd’s artistic mission is an intent to convey authenticity... More important to them than any musical flourish, then, is a dedication to exhibiting the truths that were prevalent between one another when developing each of their songs. |
