Lookout Tower hails from memories of days gone by and of moments yet to come. Storytellers inspired by the cultural landscape of Cape Breton and woven from the yarn of hard times - their songs are the culmination of musical paths not commonly crossed. Defying genres with a no holds barred approach, vintage soul meets modern Americana where footstompin’ old-time harmonies and influences are dashed with Acadian roots, creating their original Winter Swamp Sound - a sonic palette of soulful ballads, rousing blues rock and hypnotic funk.

Their new album ‘First Class Raft’ is nominated for 2024 ‘Americana Recording of the Year’ at the NSMW and their previous album ‘Fields’ was nominated for ‘Blues Recording of the Year’ at the 2024 ECMAs and for ‘Americana Recording of the Year’ at the 2023 NSMW.
