Jordan Coaker and Kirsten Rodden-Clarke of Quote the Raven have performed together for over a decade. The pair got their start in the small bars and pubs around St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador, and have rapidly grown to a household name around Canada and are steadily growing their clout internationally. The dynamic duo has a harmonious sound that's like blending two voices into one, while their Americana meets East Coast songwriting and stage dynamic are irresistibly charming. Their sophomore album Can't Hold the Light, which delves into the lives of working musicians, won the 2022 East Coast Music Association award for Contemporary Roots Recording of the Year and was nominated for two Canadian Folk Music Awards. Clearly, Quote the Raven is on an upward trajectory with no slowing down in sight.
