Award-winning folk duo Fortunate Ones \u2013 affectionally comprised of Andrew James O\u2019Brien and Catherine Allan \u2013 have weathered personal and professional uncertainties to return with perhaps their most honest and realized effort yet in the form of their third studio album That Was You And Me. <\/em><\/p>\n

Composed in a time of true change both career-wise and globally, That Was You And Me<\/em> finds the chemistry of the duo in full force, with raw and honest songwriting meeting a stripped down vulnerability and unquestioned talent.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe pandemic was this ultimate kind of audit of life,\u201d shared O\u2019Brien in a sit-down with The Herald<\/em>. \u201cAnd then when I got down to it, we were able to focus on important life changes and just rest and self-care, getting back to each other. And that was the catalyst for all this kind of creative, almost like a personal, creative renaissance.\u201d<\/p>\n

Adds Allan, \u201cOne thing about having that extra time, because the majority of the songs were written pre-pandemic, we really got to like live inside them when we actually demoed them ourselves and bounce ideas back and forth with Josh (Van Tassel, producer). We really got to live them and it was such a good distraction and sort of therapeutic to really get inside those songs.\u201d<\/p>\n
