Low Flying Planes
Enjoy the campfire charms of Low Flying Planes, the musical duo of Lynett McKell and Megan Kemshead. The pair has been touching down at cafes, folk festivals, pubs and of course late night campfires across Western Canada, winning fans and frequent flyer miles along the way. The Low Flying Planes' sweet vocal harmonies soar above their toe-tapping folk-gypsy music, with original songs that are full of heart, soul and down-home humour.
