Saskatoon’s In With the Old discover “unique” style on sophomore release

Saskatoon-based old-time country music trio In With the Old is back home following a busy touring season that saw the group play to audiences from Alberta to Manitoba and, for the second time, the United States.

“When summer ended I didn’t really know what to do with myself,” band member Jaxon Lalonde said.

“I felt like getting in the car again.”

The group — Ellen Froese-Kooijenga on vocals, guitar, mandolin and banjos; Kasia Thorlakson on vocals, mandolin, guitar and stand-up bass; and Lalonde on vocals, banjo and stand-up bass — has been touring in support of their new album, My Mother’s Couch, the follow-up their debut eight-song EP from 2014, Rollin’ on Down the Plains. Copies of the CD have been available at In With the Old Shows, but the group only recently announced that the record will be released online on Feb. 4, 2017.
