The Small Glories is the Canadian folk and roots duo of JD Edwards and Cara Luft, and you can see them live in Boothbay Harbor. The Winnipeg singer-songwriters first met at a show a decade ago and released a debut album in 2016. With guitar, banjo and a whole lot of vocal harmonies, this should prove to be an enthralling performance.
