The Guthries were a Canadian country rock band formed in 1998 in Halifax.[1] Originally formed by 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] 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.[3][4] Mays subsequently left the band in 2002, just prior to the release of the band's second release, the self-titled The Guthries.[5] 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.
