Charles F, the frontman of Winter Gloves, wanted to be in a band for as long as he could remember, but he grew up in a small rural town in Quebec where singing indie music in English wasn’t really an option. Soon he moved to the big city of Montreal with a whole album of songs, searching for a band. Winter Gloves was born!

I talked to Charles F the last time Winter Gloves were in Vancouver. If you listen closely, you can hear the rain drops tapping on the roof of their tour van. Listen to him tell the story of that journey.
