LAMBLION, the husband-and-wife duo breathes to life an enigmatic mix of indie folk and Americana. Oliver Pigott's 25 + years in the music industry combined with Danka's 20 + years in theatre arts create a powerful recipe for storytelling. Drawing from early lives spent in Portugal and Serbia, their music weaves emotional expression into spirited melodies and harmonies, with vocal highs and lows that transcend traditional male-female dynamics.
In 2020, their single WAR marked their first official release on all digital platforms. Produced by Toronto-based, Juno-nominated, and platinum awarded Thomas McKay (Joydrop), the iconic anthem features a powerful gang vocal-driven chorus, complete with marching drums courtesy of renowned drummer Tony Rabalao.
On May 29th, 2020 LambLion released their single "Only The Brave," produced by Nashville’s Marc Copely (Bono, The Edge, Willie Nelson, Roseanne Cash, Joe Walsh). The prophetic, swiftly-paced song about life, death and redemption was conceived in the course of one hour in Copely’s Nashville home studio just before the global shutdowns. The music video was then filmed during quarantine in Toronto and in the wilderness of northern Ontario in Canada. "Only The Brave" is an ode to strength and resilience in extraordinary times.
