Canadian alt-country band The Deep Dark Woods caught critics’ ears across the country with the release of 2009?s Winter Hours. The album, a solemn ode to darker themes of seclusion and detachment, could yet warm even the bottomless, frozen nights of hometown Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. With Winter Hours, The Deep Dark Woods won Best Roots Group at the 2009 Western Canadian Music Awards, and Ensemble of the Year at the 2009 Canadian Folk Music Awards. The band also had the runaway winner in CBC’s Great Canadian Songquest with Charlie’s (Is Coming Down), a song about Good Time Charlie’s in Regina.

Reviews
"... veered between insane drone folk, to Flamenco, to rockin' spectacular, to somethin' weird and all his... all in the space of one song usually. He was like Josh Homme spliced with John Martyn..." Electric Roulette - April 2009
"James Kelly commands attention through a set of guitar mastery... The talent here is unquestioned, and Kelly is someone people will be itching to tell their muso friends about..." Whisperin & Hollerin - June 2009
"James Kelly, whom I first met a couple of months ago while doing a radio interview and was instantly captivated. Combining blues riffs with flamenco rhythm on a spanish guitar, with percussion provided by hitting a kickdrum pedal against a guitar case, there’s nobody quite like him. He is, as one very drunk guy proclaimed last night, “fucking wicked!” Can’t really disagree with that. The future is bright for James..." Friend Rock Magazine - April 2010
"Now this is not the sort of bed wetting bollocks served up by bedroom singer song writers who've learned the Oasis back catalogue and write songs about been dumped by their girlfriend, oh no. This gentleman is a serious guitar virtuoso who is not to be missed..." Beat Promotions - January 2010
