WINTERSLEEP PLAYA FREE SHOW ON THE CELEBRATION STAGE AT HOLLAND PARK ON SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 27TH AT 9:15PM.
Following the release of their 2005 self-titled sophomore album,WinterSleep spent months on the road touring through Canada,America and Europe. Upon return to their native Halifax, the band
enlisted the ear of veteran producer Tony Doogan (Mogwai, Belle & Sebastian and Super Furry Animals), and hid themselves in studio for April and May of 2007. It was during this time that the ten tracks of their third album, Welcome to the Night Sky grew into their final stunning form. They won the 2008 Juno Award for New Group of the Year. WinterSleep was selected as one of the opening acts for Paul McCartney's concert at Halifax Common on July 11, 2009.
