Norbury and Finch are a folk duo based on Vancouver Island. They aren't signed to a music label, but fans of the Ozzy Osbourne reality show and HBO's Real Sex have heard their music, thanks to an innovative music-licensing company that has placed thousands of songs by little-known artists on big-name television shows.
