"Come on in, the music's warm," the band invites on its website. It's a fitting welcome from this soothing acoustic duo. Poulin is classically trained on guitar and violin, and his accompaniment is the tinder in Leaving Countries' gently smoldering hearth. Pelot's billowing vocals have a way of clinging to your heart as he taps on the drums or accents his stories with harmonica and guitar.
