Jake the Leprechauns

Charles-Antoine Gosselin (musician) and Philippe Custeau (writer and doctor of chiropractic) began trading songs by mail ten years ago while Custeau still lived in Iowa. Their first album, released in 2006, features guest appearances by some of Canada's finest musicians, including Bob Egan (Blue Rodeo, Wilco) and Jim Bryson (Howe Gelb, Kathleen Edwards). The album has been critically acclaimed by the local and international press. The band has opened for and played with some of the country's most respected acts since. Their sophomore album titled A Long Dash (Followed by Ten Seconds of Silence) is now available in stores and online.
