Social Furniture

Alex and Keaton, otherwise known as Social Furniture, make music about the nature of “things.” Not about the David Suzuki show, but the mechanisms turning the world around us. Their music often plays with the dichotomy between urban centres and the natural world. And sometimes they just sing songs about drinking.

The two met at a Halloween party Alex was hosting. A few years later they wrote their first song together. Music became the catalyst for their eventual marriage and creative collaboration.

Fusing lyrics together out of prose and poetry, they compose songs that draw from the roots of colonial Canadiana folk music, with a dash of rock n’ roll. They are as comfortable playing Beatles covers as they are at regaling audiences with their own new-timey old-timey folk tunes. Their music always leaves audiences feeling at home no matter where they are.
