We’re Sweet Alibi from Winnipeg, Manitoba.  “If Mumford and Sons and the Supreme’s had a love child it would be called Sweet Alibi.” – Tom Power CBC

Tell us a bit about your music and writing style

Our music comes from our life experiences. Our new CD “Walking in the Dark” is dedicated to Amber’s mom who died of cancer 2 years ago, and has inspired a lot of the writing on the CD.

Do you have any upcoming shows? For someone who has yet to see you live, how would you explain your live performance?

Our live performance is full of 3 part harmony. That is the main focus. You can also expect a lot of storytelling between Songs; some funny and some heartbreaking.  We try to keep things interesting with instrumentation as well. Backed by Drums and bass, we also play guitar, banjo, ukulele and harmonica.
