What the group Lee Harvey Osmond calls "acid folk" was born in an old garage off Clinton Avenue in Toronto, concocted by Tom Wilson from Blackie & the Rodeo Kings, a few Cowboy Junkies, and some members of the Skydiggers. Allowing bass, hypnotic rhythms and a lot of groove into their songwriting circle, Lee Harvey Osmond has created a sound that's creeping out of the Northland and across the Great Lakes, just like that of The Band did forty years ago. Lee Harvey Osmond released their first album, "A Quiet Evil" in 2009 and opened the Cowboy Junkies show at The Ark last summer. The group's music offers very cool, rather addictive guitar-based rhythms, sounding a bit like rootsier Cowboy Junkies, a bit like blissed- out Blackie & the Rodeo Kings, and a bit like nothing you've ever heard before.
