Woodpigeon have released six studio albums, and a number of EPs, and Hamilton has worked with over 75 collaborators both on record and in live performance.
[3] Woodpigeon's origins are found with primary school songwriter Mark Andrew Hamilton writing songs in Edinburgh, Scotland.
Other band members fell in place, with Hamilton noting that: "the way it came together was simplistic: friends started hearing my songs and offering their services.
[citation needed] The band self-released an album, Treasury Library Canada, in early August 2008, selling nearly all 1,000 hand-folded copies within a fortnight.
Woodpigeon played with acts as varied as The Constantines, Plants & Animals, Mount Eerie and Grizzly Bear, and Hamilton served as the curator of the first annual Sled Island Festival in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
Woodpigeon has since toured extensively as a headliner, and as opener for Andrew Bird, Horse Feathers, José González and Junip, and also appeared at the 2011 Meltdown Festival curated by Ray Davies on the Bandstand Busking stage.
[7] Following a year of touring alongside Junip, Andrew Bird and Patrick Wolf, Woodpigeon appeared at the 2012 Iceland Airwaves[8] Festival in Reykjavik.
[9] Hamilton began 2013 with a self-curated Reykjavik-Calgary Musicians Exchange Project[10] as part of Calgary's One Yellow Rabbit's High Performance Rodeo.
[11] The assembled group of sixty musicians, featuring Reykjavik's Benedikt H. Hermannsson (Benni Hemm Hemm) and Svavar Pétur Eysteinsson Häsler (Prins Póló) alongside Calgarians Clinton St. John, Samantha Savage Smith and Laura Leif, wrote an album's worth of music in Iceland which was then presented at the 2013 Rodeo at Calgary's Festival Hall.
[12] Mojo reviewed the record, calling it a "masterpiece" and noted, "This is the work of an artist who, seemingly despite himself, has turned into a major contender."
Frontperson's first album Frontrunner was released in 2018, garnering strong reviews from Bust, Stereogum and The Guardian, who named the pair, "two of Canada's finest" indie songwriters.
