Here to Stay (2025)

This second duo album with Ellen Gira, Here to Stay, is now available to pre-order!

Here to Stay celebrates home and travel, with 11 carefully-crafted instrumental and vocal tracks inspired by Jocelyn & Ellen’s roots and where their passions have taken them. Since first meeting in Scotland, they have both returned to their North American homes, much like the journey of the Common Loon or Great Northern Diver, as depicted in the album art.

The album weaves a rhythmic, textured sound with nuanced fiddle-cello interplay, captivating harmonies, French Canadian foot percussion, and lively dance tunes. Jocelyn & Ellen are joined on several tracks by Montréal-based guest guitarist, Everest Witman.
