The Duhks (pronounced like "ducks") are a 5-member Canadian folk-rock-Celtic-old time-bluegrass-contemporary-Latin-French Canadian-gospel (though usually described as folk rock or bluegrass) group. Four of them hail from Winnipeg, Manitoba and the fifth member is from Victoria, British Columbia. Their music draws heavily on all of the North American musical traditions, while successfully integrating Latin-music-influenced percussion. Their first album, Your Daughters & Your Sons was nominated for a Juno award, their eponymous second album won a Juno for Best Roots & Traditional Album by a Group, and "Heaven's My Home," from their third album, was nominated for the 2007 Grammy award for Best Country Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocal.
In March of 2007 lead singer and budding songwriter Jessee Havey left the band to pursue other interests.
Singer Sarah Dugas joined the band in July of 2007 and is on the road with the Duhks.
In October 2007 The Duhks Sustainability Project was launched to raise awareness about ways to live a more economically viable and ecologically sustainable lifestyle.
"The Duhks" share only part of their name with leader Leonard Podolak's previous band Scruj MacDuhk which was named after Angus MacDuhk, notable for not being a postman.
