A combination of the unruly and the refined, Cupid’s Heart uses cello, electric guitar, drums, and low female vocals to deliver casually passionate songs that live somewhere between grit and grace. This North Saskatchewan trio wears alternative rock like a baggy sweater. Founded on emotional energy and painted with a restless edge, their live shows linger after the last note. Cupid’s Heart’s music has been played in venues and across airwaves from coast to coast as they carve out a sound that’s equal parts cathartic and electric, and all parts their own.
