Sabrina and Dave of Rosewood Avenue are a husband and wife country duo from Northern Ontario. And when they say Northern Ontario, they mean it.
Think past Muskoka … past Sudbury … and keep going. They’re near Timmins, home of Shania Twain, in a small town called Matheson.
They’ve been making music together for 17 years, but it’s only been the last five or six that they’ve been pushing it on a professional level. Sabrina spent nine years teaching music before making the leap.

Dave’s always had music in his blood, with a cousin who plays lead guitar for Johnny Reid. Together, they’ve built something that sounds like Northern Ontario feels: honest, warm, and rooted.
The band name? A little bit of a love story.
Sabrina’s maiden name, Charleboix, has “bois” in it, which means wood in French. Dave always bought her roses. And Devonshire Avenue is the street where they first met as neighbours, connected by a very 2000s introduction through MSN Messenger.
We talked about how they balance being a couple, co-writers, and business partners, what it was like for Dave to go from strictly guitar player to vocalist, why they haven’t left their small town and don’t plan to anytime soon, the Ontario country community and what it’s meant to their career, and the emotional experience of hearing “Leavin’ Town” on the radio for the first time.
Rosewood Avenue’s current single “Leavin’ Town” is at Canadian country radio now, sitting in the top 50 and climbing.

In country music, the Front Porch has long been a place of reflection. A place where you can look at the life you have inside that front door. A place where time almost seems to stand still, where you can get away. It’s also a place where you can go to observe the world as it passes by you. To think about your place out there beyond the driveway.
