Tiller’s Folly are the Pacific Northwest's internationally traveled, virtuosic ambassadors of song. For the past thirteen years, through 1,000's of performances they have spread their memorable blend of energy, history, musicality, romance, and just plain fun in pubs, small and large halls, theatres and festivals. Their words and sounds are at once populist, minimally produced, poignant, and refreshingly sincere.


With seven studio CD's to the bands credit to date, Tiller's continues to expand and refine their potent mix of acoustic & electric based, Celtic influenced Canadiana, Americana, Newgrass 'and beyond.'


"I'm really thrilled about working with such an extremely talented group of musicians and entertainers and helping them navigate all the avenues of exposure available to them," says Brian Smith, Leadership Artists’s President. " They're one of the most talented groups I've seen, and will fit in nicely with the other two acts I manage (Acoustic super-group Mountain Heart and legendary vocalist and current bassist with The Doobie Brothers, John Cowan)."


Tiller’s Folly is currently in the studio working on their soon to be released new project, “Go The Road”, their eighth release overall. In addition to current members Bruce Coughlan (lead vocals/guitar), Nolan Murray (vocals/fiddle/mandolin/mandocaster) and Laurence Knight (bass/vocals) they will again showcase the vocals prowess of the masterful John Cowan, as well as introducing new musical collaborators like Josh Shilling (Mountain Heart) and Cia Cherryholme (The Cherryholmes) along with the legendary Scottish Music Hall of Famer Phil Cunningham on accordion. Rounding out the musical partnerships will be guitarist Jeff Autry (John Cowan Band) and banjo great Scott Vestal (John Cowan Band/Sam Bush Band).


With their new self-penned songs, new musical studio partnerships and an invigorated collaborative spirit, Tiller’s Folly is poised to breakthrough to the next level in 2011 and beyond.
