Sackville is a Montreal-based project that plays what has been classified as country and pop, although their very original style resembles more folk, rock and avantgarde. They formed in 1994 and recorded their first album in 1996.

Sackville disbanded in 2001, but many members have gone on to play in other bands, including: Wild Lawns and Black Ox Orkestar (Gabriel Levine), Hangedup (Genevieve Heistek and Eric Craven), Re: and A Silver Mt. Zion (Ian Ilavsky), Triple-Burner (Harris Newman - also solo), The Carnations (Pat Conan) and The Red and the Black (Rob Viola).
