Great Lake Swimmers, an indie-folk group led by Tony Dekker, have spent over two decades creating atmospheric and homespun folk music. Based in Toronto, the band is known for recording in acoustically unique rural locales, which gives their sound a distinct pastoral warmth.

Their latest album, Uncertain Country, released in 2023, reflects on themes of uncertainty, new beginnings, and the fluidity of time, capturing the sense of confusion and anxiety in the modern world. The band's evolving lineup and Dekker's thoughtful lyrics have earned them critical acclaim, including nominations for the Polaris Music Prize and Juno Awards, and praise for their ability to convey the beauty and complexity of the Canadian landscape.
