Biography

Peter Stone and Denise MacKay are 100 mile house. Named after a gold rush roadhouse, now town, 100 miles up the Cariboo Gold Rush road in Western Canada. The band’s folk music captures their journey as it’s still being lived. Their songs, shared over five increasingly successful albums, tell us their story. Peter Stone, from the UK, and Denise MacKay, from Canada, met, fell in love and married. The songs started to flow, producing a lyrically driven brand of transatlantic folk music, captivating audiences at festivals, clubs and concerts. But years of trying to start a family was wearing. Out of these times their 2016 album, Hiraeth was born. Hiraeth, a Welsh word, meaning a feeling of nostalgia and longing for something that may never have been, captured their spirit at the time. Despite their pain, they leant on each other's love more than ever. Hiraeth won a WCMA and earned a CFMA nomination. Love carried on. Their lives carried on. The couple now have a young, toddling son. With the prospectors pan, still slung over their backs, they keep sifting unexpected gold along the way. Golden songs reveal vulnerability matched with delicate instrumentation and vocals. And, like the people who found a home in the town of 100 Mile House, we wonder if in 100 mile house, we’ve found everything any prospector would hope for. Something more valuable than gold. Love.
