  • Bio

    The Cottonweeds are a Prince George based roots group featuring Raghu Lokanathan and Jeremy Stewart. For the past year, we've been hammering our set into shape with a weekly gig at a local restaurant. We began with a common desire to explore and interpret American folk songs. We've chosen material that ranges in tone from the sacred to the gutbucket-y. Our sound includes harmony singing, acoustic guitar, banjo, and a shot of jaw harp. Lately, we've thrown storytelling, originals, and songs by BC songwriters into the pot. We're keen to hit the road, do the festivals and sing ourselves hoarse...
