It’s pretty awesome watchingMyrol perform. Mostly because atfirst you think, to yourself, so what’s uniquely different about theirmusic? Then it hits! The harmoniesare pretty darn amazing. Theirsound catches the ears first. Thenthe relationship between the two women grabs you. They aren’t sisters – but they seem so close, and they getalong so well…mother and daughter? Couldn’t be…but they are! There’s certainly something to be said for that family bond in life andin music.



Myrol IS roots music to thecore. Haley (daughter), went toschool in a rural two-room school, and grew up on a cattle ranch. The family ran cattle the old way withhorses, ropes and rawhide. Theirfoundation was built on community where you call on the neighbors when you needhelp. And music was a familytradition traced back throughGrandpa Myrol, across to the Norwegian homeland, where generations of leggy Myrol Viking women with knee length hairwere heralded as renegade performers and songwriters and are still celebratedas so.

Ask them where their inspirationcomes from? They’ll say family first! When you come up through the traditional Myrol ranks of professionalmusicians, you’re bound to catch the family fire as it curses through yourveins. The Myrol family ismusic. It is founded on song andsongwriting. Joanne (mom) spentmany a sweltering hot Saskatchewan prairie summer night as a youngster withcousins, pounding out tunes on old acoustic guitars in an empty granary,learning every kind of song fromthe Beatles to Frauline.



Fast forward past the days of 13hour drives locked in the car together, with the music blasting on the tapeplayer and singing at the top of their lungs while driving to southern Albertato visit family, right up to today where Myrol can be found performing theiroriginal songs on intimate stages and festival stages all across theworld. You realize that all thishas been etched into their songs naturally and comes directly through the musicto your heart…and that’s when you realize that all this IS what makes Myrol“uniquely different”.
