History
Secretly Canadian was started in 1996 by Chris and Ben Swanson, Eric Weddle, and Jonathan Cargill. The label's first two releases were a 7" by Songs: Ohia and a re-issue of an album by June Panic. Weddle later left to form label Family Vineyard, and the remaining trio were joined by Darius Van Arman in 1999. The label joined forces with Van Arman's Jagjaguwar, and the company has expanded rapidly since then.
Tig Notaro's LIVE was nominated for a Grammy in 2014 for best Comedy Album and The War on Drugs won the A2IM Libera award for Album of the Year in 2015.
