This Rocky Mountain band’s songs and chilling tales rise from the very land they’ve protected as Canadian national park wardens. Their haunting three-part harmonies and mountain music - blending folk, roots and western – reflect Canada's protected wilderness. Celebrating the return of wild buffalo, wrangling grizzly bears, lonely nights on the pack trail, a performance by The Wardens has been dubbed “the quintessential mountain-culture concert experience."
Following the 2021 release of their third full-length album Sold Out at the Ironwood, band member Ray Schmidt was nominated Traditional Singer of the Year by the Canadian Folk Music Awards. The band has also received numerous regional nominations including 2022 Touring Artist of the Year by the BC Touring Council and Album of the Year by Country Music Alberta.
"The Wardens have an enviable live reputation... they are able to bring a modern take on a timeless musical tradition" ~ Martin Johnson, Americana UK (2022).
The Wardens have performed in Montana, but this is their first time for us here in Great Falls - we are in for a real treat! These guys are musically talented, humorous, and friendly, and will win your heart within the first five minutes. What a season opener!
