The Wardens don’t just sing about the land, they’re part of it. The Rocky Mountain-based band’s stories and songs rise from the very land they’ve protected as Canadian national park wardens collectively for over 50 years. With haunting three-part harmonies and chilling tales, the band’s mountain music—blending folk, roots, and western styles—reflects Canada’s protected wilderness areas.
Celebrating the return of wild buffalo, wrangling grizzly bears, lonely nights on the pack trail, and reflecting on an environment in crisis, a performance by The Wardens has been dubbed “the quintessential mountain-culture concert experience.”
There are few places in the world where wilderness exists in such abundance, where you can jump on a horse or slip on hiking boots and disappear for weeks on end. The Wardens bring these experiences to the stage, painting a picture so vivid that you’ll almost “smell the Pine forests and hear the Grizzly Bear in the woods.” (My Musix Blog)
