NEW ALBUM!

Since 2012, The Gemsmen have been one of the world’s pre-eminent (and possibly only) established gemshorns quartets. Playing on gemshorns made by Gemsman Hall Train, the consort performs music from the medieval to modern periods including selections from Susato and Ravenscroft, popular songs from the Beatles and Tom Waits and fan-favourite scores from Star Wars, The Legend of Zelda and Game of Thrones. Originally founded as an excuse to drink fine ale and share music making, the group has gone on to perform numerous concerts at such events as the Bellfountain Music Festival, University of Toronto Medieval Festival and regular appearances at the Oxford Renaissance Faire in Dorchester, Ontario. Puck’s Deceit, recorded at the beautiful Isabel Bader Centre for the Performing Arts in Kingston is the group’s first commercial release.
