About Basia Bulat

Canadian singer/songwriter Basia Bulat created significant buzz in the indie world with the release of her first full-length album, 2007's Oh, My Darling. It introduced a rich, expressive voice that proved to be the ideal vehicle for folk-influenced songs that dealt with love and life with a combination of sadness and wonder. Meanwhile, her melodies were bolstered by a band that incorporated strings and keyboards along with the traditional drums and guitar. Oh, My Darling was short-listed for the Polaris Music Prize and launched a successful series of tours in addition to further albums in the decade to follow. Along the way, she made fans of other musicians, including My Morning Jacket's Jim James, who produced her fourth and fifth long-players, 2016's Good Advice and 2020's Are You in Love? In 2022, The Garden reinterpreted select songs from her first five albums for a pared-down band and string quartet.
