“Nick Earle is quickly becoming one of the most electrifying names in Canadian rock. Hailing from St. John’s, Newfoundland, Earle has spent over a decade honing his craft on stages across North America, first as one half of the award-winning blues duo Earle & Coffin, before shifting gears into something bigger, louder, and unmistakably his own. Between the two acts he has earned 21 MusicNL awards and 2 Canadian Folk Music Awards.

Now leading Nick Earle & The Reckless Hearts, he’s bringing a fresh surge of energy to rock ‘n’ roll; balancing sharp songwriting with show-stopping guitar work that’s as technical as it is explosive. Their live show is a high-octane, no-apologies blast of guitars, sweat, and swagger – earning them spots alongside the likes of Nickelback, Matt Mays, The Trews, and Third Eye Blind.

Earle’s 2022 album No More Hiding is a bold statement of reinvention, written over two years and deeply influenced by the late-night chaos of his home town  and packed with anthems built to outlive the party. Its breakout single Born to Lose caught fire online, racking up over 4.8 million plays on TikTok and  putting a national spotlight on Earle’s evolving sound and was nominated for Rock Album of the Year at the ECMA’s in 2023.

Whether it’s a smoky bar room stage or a summer festival crowd, Nick Earle is channeling something raw, real, and recklessly alive – bringing East Coast Rock to the masses, one hook at a time.”

“Rube & Rake is a genuine meeting of East Coast and West Coast minds. The original songs of Josh Sandu of Prince George, British Columbia, and Andrew Laite of St. John’s, Newfoundland, bring to life a 21^st century Canadian experience, unconfined by a single region or musical style.

The Rube & Rake sound elides an empathetic vocalistic rapport with thoughtful, sometimes playful, acoustic guitar and banjo stylings. Their tender melodies and tight vocals evoke a sense of keen listening, both to the world around them and to each other. Supported at times by bass, fiddle, and electric instruments, the graceful conviction of their vocals and the sensitive surety of their instruments are enriched by the counterpoint energy of dense harmonies, expansive soundscapes and steady rhythms.

The duo’s mosaic of influences, both musically and lyrically, draw on their personal experiences and their individual family histories. Their introspective lyrics reflect on the nature of home, the passage of time, and the spaces where aspiration and obligation intersect. In turns ballads, poems, and stories, their songs take the listener on journeys of exploration, both of the self and into the lives of others.

The Rube & Rake live performance combines musical precision and sensitive vocals with the pair’s approachable personas. Thoughtful songs, a subtle rhythmic energy, and an easygoing humour all contribute to an intimate, engaging experience for the listener. Their vulnerability and spirit of openness connect with audiences in small salon performances and larger venues alike.

The duo began performing together in 2013 and self-produced their debut album, Back and Forth, in 2017. On Leaving With Nothing, released in 2020, the pair explored a more extensive breadth of instrumental sounds while remaining true to their vocal subtlety and lyrical vulnerability. This sophomore album was recognized as SOCAN Songwriter of the Year at the 2022 East Coast Music Awards.

With the 2025 release of their third album, Good Time After Bad, Rube & Rake find themselves in a more mature place, both in life and as musicians. A more eloquently responsive acoustic guitar complements lyrics that examine the spaces between duty and desire, choice and circumstance, optimism and vulnerability.

Based in St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador, Rube & Rake tour extensively across Canada and beyond, performing in both intimate settings and large venues.” – LHM Records
