Longtime collaborators Rose Vaughan & Cathy Porter, known for their distinctive and instantly recognizable sound, have once again combined their remarkable talent and integrity in a brand new album, Gardener of the Moon. Building on their signature sound from their days in the Rose Vaughan Trio (1990-2004), Gardener of the Moon presents eleven newly-minted songs, three remixed favourites from their archives, and a stirring new version of a perennial fan favourite, Stone & Sand with special vocal contributions from Mary Jane Lamond, Rose Cousins, Dave Gunning, and Bill & Joel Plaskett. A co-production from 5th-business and WildRose Records, Gardener of the Moon  also features more of East Coast Canada's most-celebrated musicians as guests, including Gina Burgess  (violin),  Darren McMullen (mandolin & whistles), and John Spearns (cello). The album was recorded @ The Hatch with Benn Ross, edited (with additional recording) @ Hoser HiFi with John Parker, and mixed/mastered with Christopher Mitchell @ Halifax Motion Picture Sound & Music.
