Ghostly Hounds is the folk project of Francesca Mirai, singer-songwriter and banjo player based out of the Lkwungen territories colonially known as Victoria, often accompanied by Finn Letourneau on fiddle and vocal harmonies.

With a background in classical, jazz and punk, Francesca has become known for their unique vocals. They captivate their audience with a clear, soaring range, powerful projection and just the right amount of grit, coalescing elegantly with traditional and modern banjo instrumentals.

​The incorporation of complex and upbeat folk tunes interspersed with soulful, lyric-driven originals and the addition of Finn’s expert fiddle playing and haunting vocal harmonies, has added a new layer of depth and richness to the already fascinating performance that Ghostly Hounds has become known for.

Callum Gaudet sings loud Americana using the raw electric guitar sounds of where he is based, Halifax, Nova Scotia.

Hitchhiking and traveling internationally left Gaudet with one sound in mind, the sound of stories. He recognized that stories connect individuals from various walks of life, and that connection, be it brief or lifelong, leaves a powerful imprint on the minds of people.

​With lyrics that evoke a raconteur, Callum Gaudet's writing stands on the edge of folksong, short story, and loud vintage tube amps. His debut album "Ghosts" was released in January of 2024.
