Searson has just released their eighth studio album "Stars Above the Farm," a tribute to their Ottawa Valley roots. Searson has teamed up with some talented Canadian artists for this original and traditional album of instrumental and vocal tracks.

Composing all their own songs and fiddle tunes have made them the accomplished performers that they are today.
