Artist Bio: Pharis and Jason are a sentimental anchoring, and the perfect antidote to this sped-up life. Some scratchy old records and a custom banjo led to their meeting in 2007, and they quickly knew they were in for the long haul. They've since won two Juno awards and multiple Canadian Folk Music Awards, released six records, toured all over, and performed on A Prairie Home Companion and CBC's The Vinyl Café.
The sound of their two voices together is quietly show-stopping. The songs are inspired by the world they live in, with a powerful dose of the early country and folk they so dearly love. Balancing a bustling boutique banjo business and two young kids with the busy life of active musicians, the balancing act itself becomes an art form. Pharis and Jason use the creative spark from that balancing to take the listener on a trip through their distinctive songwriting, singing and playing. Their newest record, ‘Bet On Love’, featuring guests John Reischman on mandolin and Patrick Metzger on bass, joined with producer Marc Jenkins to bring an album of plain feelings and acoustic instrumentation to lush, love-affirming life.

I live in South Florida. And just bought tickets to see the both of you on Vancouver island at the war memorial hall. Fell in love with you Guys the first time I heard you ,souvenir. People say I'm crazy for spending that much money to see your show. I say it'll be worth it every penny of it keep it up

[@SillyMoustache]

This couple are a bliss to listen to, but also to watch. they "click" together so well, and look so delightfully happy together. I have all their albums and have done a number of their songs but have yet to find a female voice to go with mine. Beautiful in every sense.

[@richardmacewan2385]

14:10 the most beautiful version of 'Going Across the Sea' that I have ever heard. Exquisitely tender singing, hauntingly sweet banjo. Thankyou so much for all your music.

[@antheamason]

Is there any folk music more beautiful? You bless the world, Pharis and Jason!

[@Wanderer-l9h]

What lovely people. I really liked "come home little dog"

[@harleycleanslate]

[@banjogranny9156]

Your music is so incredibly beautiful! Your voices blend so perfectly, the tone is so sweet and emotive, and the sound of those banjos - just wow! My first banjo teacher, Jody Hughes, had one of your banjos, and when he played it, the sound was so overwhelmingly beautiful It brought tears to my eyes. Thank you for sharing your beautiful music.

[@michaelbrand8279]

Beautiful version of "Going Across the Sea"!

[@richardmacewan2385]

Totally agree. Such a delicate interpretation.

[@kindredcustomsnowboardsand1756]

Jubilation! That semi-sub-genre fulfilling all-banjo album is *chef's kiss*! lol

[@jimmatthews6110]

Where have I been where have you guys been? I'm in the heart of Old Time Country in North Carolina less than an hour from Erynn Marshall. I used to live in play music in Chico as well but I've been back here for 30 some-odd years now hope you can come back and visit sometime thanks for the great music banjos

Been searching for a live version of New Caledonia where I can get a better idea of his tuning. I told myself a few years ago that I'd learn this song eventually, I finally found it

[@tmart9084]

WOW

[@KenneyCmusic]

You guys blew my mind at the Cowichan Valley festival, the melody of the first song has been stuck in my head ever since I heard it this weekend. Definitely going to be on repeat for while

[@WaldoOtto-f9h]
