The Deep Dark Woods are a Canadian folk-roots band formed in 2005 in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, now based in Southern Ontario. Fronted by singer-songwriter Ryan Boldt, they draw on Celtic folk, country blues and 1960s folk-rock - think Fairport Convention, The Band and Neil Young - to build a sound that feels both timeless and distinctly their own. Over eight albums they have earned Juno nominations, two Canadian Folk Music Awards and two Western Canadian Music Awards, and played stages from Newport Folk Festival to Bonnaroo. Their 2025 album The Circle Remains, recorded to analog tape with producer David Parry, is widely regarded as among their finest work.
The Circle Remains was released on October 3, 2025 via Victory Pool Records, recorded to analog tape with producer David Parry.
In June 2025 the band announced The Circle Remains, sharing lead single 'Traded In Your Name' ahead of the autumn release.
Ryan Boldt undertook a solo tour of England and Wales in May 2025, covering venues from Sheffield to London.
The single 'Ruby' was released in March 2025, marking the band's first original song since 'Changing Faces' in 2021.
Broadside Ballads Vol. III, a collection of traditional folk songs, was released in May 2024.
