The Small Glories are JD Edwards (left) and Cara Luft.

The Small Glories are the duo of Canadian natives Cara Luft (an acclaimed singer-songwriter and founding member of The Wailin' Jennys) and JD Edwards (who leads a long-running eponymous band). Both strong lead singers, each also blends on harmonies as if they've been singing together since birth -- though it's only been a few years since they combined forces for their blend of by turns celebratory and somber-hued traditional music. Opening is Madison's own Acoustic Charlies, the trio of Chuck Bayuk, Chuck Gates and Jeff Laramie.

media release: 2020 International Folk Awards Artist of the Year....The Small Glories folk/pop/roots powerhouse from Winnipeg deliver brilliant harmonies and original songs by Cara Luft (Wailin' Jennys) on banjo, and JD Edwards on guitar.
