Whitehorse is a Canadian folk rock band, whose core members are Luke Doucet and Melissa McClelland.[1] Doucet and McClelland were both established and successful singer-songwriters in their own right, both before and after their marriage in 2006, but opted in 2011 to put their solo careers on hold to work together as a band.[1]
The duo have released two albums and an EP on Six Shooter Records.[2] They are currently based in Hamilton, Ontario.[3]
In July 2013, their second album The Fate of the World Depends on This Kiss was shortlisted for the 2013 Polaris Music Prize.[4]
