Folk duo The Dusty Halos (Rebecca Fairless and Gabriella Ciurcovich) combine the textures of old time acoustic music with original songwriting. With warmly-sung harmonies, intricate fingerstyle guitar, sonorous upright bass, and raw emotion, their dreamily melancholic folk songs will gently break your heart.

Since forming in Halifax, Nova Scotia in 2022, the duo has garnered attention for their songcraft and intimate vocal chemistry. Following their debut at a folk festival in a barn outside Antigonish, they have performed on stages in Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Toronto, and Montreal.

The Dusty Halos released their debut record in 2023, a self-titled EP featuring five emotion-laden tracks that weave themes of heartbreak and longing into tuneful tapestries. In 2025 the duo released their sophomore EP, Keep Us This Night, featuring the haunting single “With You."

Fans of old time acoustic sounds and inventive songwriting (The Be Good Tanyas, Gillian Welch, Adrian Lenker) will find much to savour in the music of The Dusty Halos. Their songs explore the interplay of light and darkness, finding solace in the shadows.
