Craving modern Folk music uniquely steeped in Irish and Canadian singer-songwriter traditions? Then dive into the world of Dandelion Highway formed in 2023 by musical duo Kayleigh McGavock and Chris Sytnyk. Born and raised in Waterford, Ireland, McGavock is a soulful folk singer with a uniquely creative approach to the guitar. Sytnyk is a Canadian touring and session musician who has shared the stage and studio with some of Canada’s biggest musical acts. The two artists began collaborating after attending a concert for Irish singer CMAT together and realizing they shared a love for Irish Folk Songs, puppies and grapefruit tea. The duo has been perfecting their live show at Ontario venues and festivals such as the 2024 Mariposa Folk Festival Emerging Artists Showcase, Sundown Sessions, Heritage Sounds and Buskerfest. Last Fall the band appeared on CCMT TV Talent which aired nationally on City TV. Dandelion Highway’s debut 5 song E.P. , The Crossing—recorded with acclaimed Canadian producer Ron Lopata (Jacksoul, Jully Black, Lindi Ortega)—is now out in the world, offering listeners a heartfelt, slightly tea-scented soundtrack for wandering hearts and wistful daydreamers alike.
