Fire & Smoke

Artist Information

Biography

First drawn together by the flickering light and inviting warmth of a Winnipeg Folk Fest campground jam, Claire Morrison and Daniel Péloquin-Hopfner discovered in each other the potential for what is now musical partnership Fire & Smoke. With her "decadently rich voice" (Sandbox Magazine) and his feel-them-in-your-bones harmonies, the pair is garnering attention from the likes of CBC/Radio-Canada and earned a spot at Granby's 2012 International Festival of Song in Quebec. With their bluegrass and folk-inspired numbers, Fire & Smoke’s haunting style and boldly intimate storytelling will leave you with an ache in your soul, a song in your heart, and a knowing twinkle in your eye.

Praise for Fire & Smoke's debut release, Maiden Voyage:
"The delicate melodies, lovely vocal harmonies and heartfelt storytelling lyrics are bare and exposed...I was immediately captivated by the haunting quality of Claire Morrison’s voice.  So beautiful.  Claire and Daniel’s voices complement each other particularly well, their interpretation of “Prends la maison” revealing the beautiful chemistry they share. Ear candy"
- singer-songwriter Nadia Gaudet


"...duet Breathing Slow could be a sea shanty for 2012 and lone French number Prends la maison is as sweet as they come. Lyrics this deep and haunting don’t often come from a voice so young.... 4 stars"
- Uptown Magazine
