Narrow Road is made up of three guys who have been writing, singing and playing for over 20 years.  The unique vocal harmonies of brothers Gord & Mark Stevenson and cousin Darren "Digger" Leck incorporated in a live band setting have few comparisons.

The three began singing together in churches over the years & have performed in numerous concert & festival settings with such artists as George Hamilton lV, Kelita, The Booth Brothers, and Doyle Lawson and Quicksilver.

Narrow Road's first recording on eight original compositions and two old gospel favourites 'MORE THAN I DESERVE' was released in September of 1995 and their second recording 'LIVING IN FAITH' comprised of six originals was released in 1998.  From this recording experience they realized the importance in duplicating this same sound in their live performances.     In addition to Gord (bass) Mark (acoustic) and Darren (drums) they are accompanied by Don Reed, three time North American Fiddle Champion who has recorded with many Canadian and Nashville artists.   On lead guitar is Steve Pitico,  a seven time recipient of the Canadian Country Music Association's Instrumentalist of the Year who has also recorded with many Nashville artists.  On pedal steel and dobro is Al Brisco,  an accomplished recording artist who has extensive experience as not only a player but also as a band leader for some of country music's finest.  Rick Ash on the keyboards who toured with many well-known quartets in Canada and the United States.  This combination of family harmonies and the collection of talented musicians produce a very unique country sound.
