ThreeMetreDay Don Michelle Hugh Toronto -- “Very close to roots perfection.” - THE MUSICAL VIEW "Adventurous, beautiful music on the cusp of folk and jazz.... one of this year's finest albums!" - HEAVEN MAGAZINE Three Metre Day is an original, Canadian roots music trio whose members include violinist Hugh Marsh, Don Rooke and Michelle Willis. Hugh has recorded and toured extensively with Bruce Cockburn, Loreena McKennitt, Jon Hassell, Don Byron and Mercan Dede as well as played on the soundtracks to countless Hollywood films. Don Rooke is a lap-style slide guitarist who also leads cult Toronto band The Henrys. He has recorded with Mary Margaret O’Hara, Cowboy Junkies, Sylvia Tyson and Gordie Sampson, as well as for movies and TV. Finally there is Michelle Willis, whose singing and portable pump organ playing are the cornerstone of this original, popular band. It is rare to see three musicians who demonstrate such command of their instruments in one group; rarer still to hear them devoting their sounds to the making of such beautiful, uncommonly organic music. "Three Metre Day's 'Coasting Notes' is a heartfelt album that has you leaning in closer to the music as the voice of Michelle Willis warms you by the fire." - Laurie Brown / The Signal: CBC Radio Currently 3MD is writing and recording the score for a Canadian feature film. Plans are in the works for a tour of 'Coasting Notes' through Turkey in the spring.
