âManitobaâs âDynamic Duoâ, Karla Adolphe and Caleb Friesen, deliver a one-two musical punch during a live performanceâ
Lindsay Jane, Singer/Songwriter, Winnipeg

After eight months of touring together in support of Karla Adolpheâs debut album Come Home, Caleb and Karla decided to merge their musical careers, and Jacob and Lily was born. Incorporating the cajon beat box, world percussion instruments and a partial drum kit, Caleb is the perfect compliment to Karlaâs driving style and compelling voice which critics have compared to Martha Wainright, Ani DiFranco and Sarah McLaughlin. Having reached their goal of 1000 album sales and 100 shows in 10 months, Karla and Caleb have taken the country by storm.

âRemember this name for it wonât be long before Karla Adolphe will be mentioned in the same breath as others such as MacLachlan, Arden and Difranco...Adolphe rises above the rest on the strength of both her beautiful emotive voice and its application on nine simple aching songs...â
John Kendle, Uptown Magazine

songwritingâ¦â
