The Guthries were a country rock ensemble originating from Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. Their discography includes two albums released during the early 2000s.
History
Established in 1998 by singers Ruth Minnikin and Dale Murray, the group also featured their brothers Gabe Minnikin and Brian Murray, alongside associates Serge Samson and Matt Mays. Initial configurations of the band included Nick Bevan-John and Tim-Jim Baker.
Their first album, Off Windmill, debuted in 2000. Prior to the launch of their sophomore record, the eponymous The Guthries in 2002, Mays departed from the band. They performed extensively throughout Canada and the United Kingdom. Following this second album, members shifted focus to individual projects, and no additional albums under The Guthries name were produced.
