Great Lake Swimmers

Great Lake Swimmers, led by Tony Dekker, bring their atmospheric indie-folk and intimate Americana to Jammin Java as part of the venue’s and Union Stage Presents’ 25th anniversary concert series. Their sound combines acoustic instrumentation, pastoral textures, wistful vocals, and rural soundscapes shaped by years of recording in resonant historic spaces. The performance will feature music from Caught Light, the group’s 2025 album, with Colleen Brown also appearing.

The Ontario-based band emerged in the early 2000s and has earned recognition as a Polaris Music Prize finalist and two-time Juno Award nominee. Caught Light was recorded in five days in Ontario’s Ganaraska Forest with producer Darcy Yates and engineer Jimmy Bowskill; its folk-pop influences and more spontaneous songwriting represent a direct, immediate phase for the group.
