The Deep Dark Woods with Special guest O Green

Dark folk, haunted harmonies, and stories that linger long after the last note fades — The Deep Dark Woods return to Kingston for an intimate night at The Broom Factory on Wednesday, April 8.

Originally from Saskatchewan and now based in Southern Ontario, The Deep Dark Woods are masters of atmosphere and narrative. Their music reaches deep into tradition, drawing threads from Celtic folk songs, country blues, and the shadowy spaces between artists like John Fahey and Shirley Collins. Led by songwriter Ryan Boldt, the band delivers songs that are lush, melancholic, and quietly devastating — the kind that feel whispered from another time.

Boldt’s writing is steeped in gothic surrealism, rich with stark detail and emotional weight. Murder ballads, lost love, and wandering souls populate his songs, giving The Deep Dark Woods a reputation as modern myth-makers — a band that doesn’t just perform music, but conjures it. Live, their sound is immersive and spellbinding, pulling audiences into a world where every lyric matters and every silence hums with meaning.

Joining them as special guest is O Green, whose warm, introspective songwriting makes the perfect companion for the evening. Together, this pairing promises a night of deep listening, emotional resonance, and beautifully crafted songs delivered in one of Kingston’s most cherished live music spaces.

This is a show for fans of storytelling, folk traditions with sharp modern edges, and music that isn’t afraid to sit with darkness — and find beauty there.
