Blending old-time roots with modern-day storytelling, The Western Thistles are an Edmonton folk duo known for their clawhammer banjo, rhythm guitar, and rich harmonies.

Formed in 2023 by Mark Boer and Sabrina (Bri) Huot-Boer, the duo weaves lived experience into songs rooted in folk, old-time, and country tradition. Their debut self-titled album, released in 2025 and co-produced by Miles Wilkinson (Guy Clark, Emmylou Harris), claimed the #26 spot on CKUA's Top 100 of the year. With a sound that's raw, resonant, and heartfelt, The Western Thistles preserve the art of storytelling through music that reflects the rhythms of everyday life.
