TRAIL ANGELS NOW AVAILABLE AT: https://peddlersfrench.bandcamp.com/album/trail-angels

Co-written with veteran dog sled racer, writer and lecturer, Karen Land, Trail Angels takes listeners on an album-length journey to the wild north to experience the lives of mushers, Alaskan huskies, bush pilots, and more.

Peddler’s French founders Philadelphia Phil and Matt Scutchfield assembled a multi-generational ensemble of acoustic players and singers, gathering artists from throughout the US for a series of studio recording sessions completed over a one-year period. All songs on the album were inspired by brave and beloved dogs, and real-life mushing adventures in Alaska, Canada, and the Lower 48.

Trail Angels comes in an eco-wallet with a dramatic image by official Iditarod photographer Jeff Schultz gracing the cover. Messages from Karen and Phil are included in the full-color, 4-page insert, complete with a song-by-song listing of the many fine musicians on the album. The insert image of Karen and her team just strides away from the Iditarod finish line in Nome comes from Schultz’s 2006 book, “Iditarod Glory”.
