With heart, wit and wonder, Alex Millaire and Katlin Milroy have partnered to create Moonfruits. Together they pen and present original music and songs in both French and English that reflect their experience of life and living in and around their home town of Ottawa. Alex and Katlin craft contemporary folk songs that address issues that confront us and all of humanity on a daily basis. They provide a dynamic musical presentation with warm, welcoming harmonies, innovative arrangements featuring bowed guitar and banjo, along with a hefty dose of family-fueled storytelling. They love a rousing sing-along, so be ready to join in the fun.Asked to describe their music, Alex and Katlin say, “Ours is the music of open-minded dreamers and diligent doers, we confront dehumanizing capitalism and environmental catastrophe with a rousing call for solidarity.”

In 2021, the duo co-wrote and performed a play titled “Moby: A Whale of a Tale” which was premiered on a ship in the Toronto harbour. Alex and Kaitlin received four prestigious Dora Awards for their efforts. Moonfruits was nominated for Canadian Folk Music Awards in two categories this year, ‘Emerging Act’ and ‘Producers of the Year’. Their collaboration has also earned them nominations for Stingray Rising Stars, the SOCAN Award and the Trille Award.Moonfruits is fresh off a two month European Tour that included stops in Dublin, Ireland as well as Frankfurt, Bremen and Hamburg, Germany.In their November 30 concert, Moonfruits will feature songs from their first album ‘Ste Quequepart’ (St. Somewhere) as well as songs from their lushly orchestrated new album ‘SALT’. The closing song on SALT is called ‘Moon Cradle’. It’s a dreamy harp-string and voice composition for which they won the 2024 Capital Music Award for ‘Best Production and Arrangement’.Check out Moonfruits videos at <a href="https://moonfruits.ca/video" title="https://moonfruits.ca/video" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">moonfruits.ca/video</a>
