The Guthries were a Canadian country rock band based in Halifax, Nova Scotia. They released two albums in the early 2000s.
History
[edit]The Guthries formed in 1998 in Halifax.[1] Originally formed by vocalist Ruth Minnikin and Dale Murray, the band included their respective siblings Gabe Minnikin and Brian Murray, as well as high school friends Serge Samson and Matt Mays.[2][3] Early line-ups included Nick Bevan-John (Hotel Faces, Jack MacDonald, Ceti Alpha) and Tim-Jim Baker (Matt Mays and El Torpedo).
The band's first album was Off Windmill, released in 2000.[4][5] Mays subsequently left the band in 2002, just prior to the release of the band's second release, the self-titled The Guthries.[6] The band toured extensively throughout Canada and the UK. Following that album, however, the band members each began pursuing solo projects, and have not released another Guthries album.

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
