FORTUNATE ONES NEW RELEASE “THE BLISS” A BLAZE!
The Newfoundland duo just started their sellout-peppered release tour for their debut album, and are already top of the charts and soaring in Canadian media.

“Musically varied, The Bliss is a wonderful onion of a record that reveals new layers with each listening. Initially drawn to the vocal chemistry apparent between Fortunate Ones’ Catherine Allan and Andrew James O’Brien, it’s not long before the storytelling and lyricism on The Bliss fully draw you in.” –CBC Music FIRST PLAY

“smartly matched harmonies and insightful tunes” – Halifax Chronicle Herald

“They’re selling out shows across the Maritimes, Ontario and Quebec and spreading warmth with their enchanting harmonies and memorable tunes…” – Montreal Rampage

“A Fortunate Weekend…” –CBC NEWS

“The album is getting strong reviews, with its pleasing, warm sound the highlight. Lyrically, there’s a warmth too, and some significant wisdom as well, especially for a couple of relative youngsters.” –CBC New Brunswick

“…the St. John’s-based pair take their name from the simple feeling they get from pursuing their musical aspirations.” –Exclaim! video debut “The Bliss”
