With a sound that has been compared to everyone from The Band to ‘pre-weirdness’ Wilco, their personal mission is to create sad songs for happy people — whether that means nostalgic ballads or upbeat anthems. The Young Novelists’ ability to tell fa- miliar stories with a modern folk edge make them, and their songs, instant classics. The Young Novel- ists are touring Alberta in January 2019 and will be performing at Horizon Stage on Friday, January 25 at 7:30 p.m. When they first met, Graydon and Laura had no idea that they would be married one day — much less touring the world together. They both grew up in Ontario; Laura in Peterborough and James in Verona, a small eastern town with a popu- lation of a mere 1,800. They both moved to Waterloo for university, where they met via community theatre; but it wasn’t until James decided to refocus his career from drummer to front man that they combined their talents musically. After recruiting some musicians, and touring the east coast as a six- piece, the band became Graydon James & The Young Novelists. Between 2011 and 2012, they re- leased two albums: live at dublin st. church and in the year you were born. However, it soon became clear that Laura was taking on more lead vocal duties. By the time they recorded their 2015 album, made us strangers, it made the most sense to simply shorten their name to The Young Novelists. Happily, made us strangers, landed them a Canadian Folk Music Award for New/Emerg- ing Artist, a nomination for Vocal Group of the Year, and reached top 20 on both !earshot and Stingray Music folk charts.
