The Real Shade

Toronto, Ontario

The Real Shade is a Toronto-based indie-pop band.

It was formed in 2007 when long-time side woman Jane Gowan (Spygirl, Neins Circa, Belinda Bruce) teamed up with bassist Mary Harmer.

What started as a lo-fi rock ’n roll outfit evolved into a project that explored other styles, most notably Americana and Indie Folk.
