The Barrel Boys
The Barrel Boys are a dynamic bluegrass band featuring powerful three- and four-part vocal harmonies, flashy instrumental picking, and a fun, down-to-earth stage presence. Their original music draws from the deep traditions of bluegrass and old-time music, but what sets them apart is their earnest songwriting and storytelling. Over a decade of experience performing together has brought an easy tightness to their unmistakable sound.
Their 2020 album “Mainline” earned them a nomination for Vocal Group of the Year at the Canadian Folk Music Awards, and they have been featured as main stage acts at bluegrass and folk festivals across Canada.
