The New Customs are the compelling pairing of Emma Cloney and Dale Brown. Hailing from the prolifically musical city of Winnipeg Manitoba Canada, the duo is poised to take the world by storm with their solid songwriting, heart-stirring harmonies and outstanding instrumentation. The splendid pairing of guitarist Emma Cloney’s haunting voice and the playing of award-winning, sought-after multi-instrumentalist Dale Brown make up the heart of their sound. In writing together, the pair effortlessly crafts tunes that range in flavour from folk to celtic to blues, yet always sound uniquely like themselves.
We are simple delighted to be sharing a years worth of cowriting and musical mayhem with you all.
Coming to the West End Cultural Centre in Winnipeg Mb May 12th 2017 our first full length album ALL WALLS FALL.
The January winter winds are extra cold from the frozen shores of Falcon Lake Mb. Good thing Dale has more than mastered building warm fires for us to keep warm while we record our brand new full length album. Tucked away in the Manitoba Whiteshell it is the perfect scene for what prairie kids do best... hiding from winter and creating beautiful music.
Time sure does fly, it seems like moment ago we were in Alberta and BC sharing our songs for the first time and now we look forward to our first trip to the East Coast of Canada and meeting all the friendly faces out that way. February touring adventures here we come. Then it's home to Manitoba for our famous winter celebration Festival Du Voyageur where The New Customs proudly join the ranks of some of Manitoba's finest artists.
It's an exciting time in The New Customs camp with so many new things on the horizon.
We can't wait to share it with you all

WCMA winner "Aboriginal Artist of the Year" William Prince joins The New Customs on Stage November 27th 2016 at the West End Cultural Centre in Winnipeg.
"William Prince is storytelling singer/songwriter from Peguis First Nation who sidesteps clichés to provoke thought and facilitate discovery. His baritone vocals pay tribute to his late father and his genuine delivery acknowledges the hundreds of hours he's spent on stage."
Then it's off to the West End Cultural Centre to join William Prince in a one of a kind House Concert style show in the intimate ACU hall. Only 80 seats and nearly all of them sold out. This one is not to be missed as our duo pairs up with Prince a singer songwriting powerhouse for a memorable evening of music. William warmed the hearts of both Emma and Dale as we had the pleasure of sharing several festival stages this past summer. It feels like a family affair as both William Prince and the duo worked under the expert care of Scott Nolan for our respective most recent albums at Winnipeg's “The Song Shop”.
This one is not to be missed!
