Inn Echo JUNO nomination
Album of the Year hopefuls for Hemispheres
Inn Echo, the Music PEI Award-winning and CFMA and ECMA nominated Celtic group from Charlottetown, PEI, has been nominated for the 2025 JUNO Award for Traditional Roots Album of the Year for their 2023 release, Hemispheres.
Formed in 2019, when three musicians—Karson McKeown, Tuli Porcher and Tom Gammons —from different metaphorical worlds converged on PEI, the band plays a contemporary take on traditional Celtic music. Their sound features a blend of fiddle, cello, and guitar, creating instrumental narratives with roots in Irish and Scottish traditions. They incorporate influences from blues, pop, and dub, resulting in a fresh, dynamic sound.
Having toured internationally, they are known for their energetic performances and innovative approach to traditional music. Hemispheres is a tribute to the places they’ve toured, carrying a piece of their home with them. It was produced by Jake Charron and Donnie Richard.
This year’s winners will be revealed in Vancouver, BC at the JUNO Awards Gala on March 29.
