Fools Tongue

Music – Edmonton

Fools Tongue sits somewhere between World, Pop, and Alternative in terms of musical style. The two founders of this world beat collective are Jeff Ramsey (Guitar, Vocals) and Luke Ertman (Chapman Stick, Vocals) who have been working together for many years in Alberta. They have gathered forces with 5 other musicians to create a seven piece project inspired by world percussion and thick vocal harmonies. It’s these influences along with their pop sensibilities that has created the unique and familiar sounds in their latest CD \"New World.\" New World is an epic concept album that crosses musical genres and has drawn comparisons to Peter Gabriel, Sting, U2, Crosby Stills Nash Young, Daniel Lanois, Sigur Ros, and Steely Dan amongst others. It follows the story of a man as he is pulled out of his familiar home by a woman throwing stones at his window and beckoning him to follow her into a new world.
