The Slocan Ramblers

× Though they may be based in Toronto, The Slocan Ramblers take their name from BC’s own Slocan Valley — and their sound definitely channels the picturesque, mountainous natural landscape more than any urban centre. It’s straight-ahead, plucky and high-energy bluegrass music. The Slocan Ramblers (2019 Juno Award Nominees) are Canada’s bluegrass band to watch. Rooted in tradition, fearlessly creative and possessing a bold, dynamic sound, The Slocans have become a leading light of today’s acoustic music scene. With a reputation for energetic live shows, impeccable musicianship and an uncanny ability to convert anyone within earshot into a lifelong fan, The Slocans have been winning over audiences from Merlefest to RockyGrass and everywhere in between.

On their much-anticipated new album Queen City Jubilee (2019 Juno Award Nominee for Traditional Roots Album of the Year), The Slocans showcase their unique blend of bluegrass, old-time and folk with deep songwriting, lightning fast instrumentals and sawdust-thick vocals. With their trademark raucous energy, this new album presents The Slocan Ramblers at the top of their game – writing and playing tunes to keep you up all night. This is roots music without pretension, music intended to make you feel something Say hello to your new favourite band - Frank Evans on banjo, Adrian Gross on mandolin, Darryl Poulsen on guitar and Alistair on bass.
