“Bulletproof harmonies”
The Co-Conspirators is a Hemmingford, QC based duo playing folk/singer-songwriter music with elements of country, rock, blues, gospel, bluegrass, spiritual, and general roots music. With heavy emphasis on vocal harmonies, this duo had been compared to The Weavers, Ian and Sylvia Tyson and Richard and Linda Thompson. They perform mostly original music along with some traditional and contemporary covers.
Mostly performing as a duo, they do occasionally add various instruments available to them such as bass, drums, percussion, flute, clarinet, lead guitar, violin, cello, harmonica, banjo, auto harp, and vibraphone.
Described as modern day troubadours, The Co-Conspirators have performed at hundreds of house concerts, folk societies, festivals, seniors and community centres, bars, and restaurants.
The Co-Conspirators have released 4 albums to date, "Shadowing the Organ Tuner" (with full band), "The Unreliable Narrators" (a duo album of originals), and their 3rd album, "Half a Tank of Gas and a Full Case of Beer" (a Fred Eaglesmith Tribute), was release in July 2023.
"War Is A Racket and Other Irrefutable Truths" is a collection of anti-war, protest, social justice, and labour rights songs. It was released January 2025.
In January 2025 they also undertook their first USA tour, with 17 shows from Washington DC to Texas and points in-between.
They continue to tour as much as possible.

“Whether about social injustice, tales of travel, or love lost or found, The Co-Conspirators’ original songs always bring life and light to a room.”
“Training a modern-day lens on folk’s deeply rooted tradition of storytelling through songs that orbit around hardscrabble characters, troubled lives, social injustices, personal struggle, and more.”
