History

Luft and Edwards first played together in 2012, when both played a 25th-anniversary show for the West End Cultural Centre in Winnipeg, and in 2014, Edwards played with Luft on her solo tour.[1] Soon after this, they began recording as a duo, and in 2016, their debut as the Small Glories, entitled Wondrous Traveler, was released.[2]

For their second album, the duo worked with producer Neil Osborne, who was a member of 54-40.[3][4]

They signed to Red House Records to release the album, entitled Assiniboine & the Red, in 2019.[5][6][7]
