Bluegrass Mondays featuring The Barrel Boys

Just venturing off the festival scene for a stop-over at Bluegrass Mondays at Pressed, The Barrel Boys promise to bring a fun and wonderful musical experience to our audience.

A 5-piece bluegrass powerhouse featuring rich vocal harmonies, killer picking, and a fun-loving, down-to-earth stage presence, The Barrel Boys are a unique staple of the Toronto music scene. Informed by the deep traditions of bluegrass, country, old-time, and Americana, The Boys have crafted their own unmistakeable sound into an exuberant and deeply soulful musical experience.

Last Bluegrass Monday for the summer, we'll be starting up again in September!

The six-song offering was written on a $100 guitar and recorded at Bryson's own Fixed Hinge Studio with Jonas Bonnetta. It also features musical contributions from Arcade Fire's Jeremy Gara, Scattered Cloud's Philippe Charbonneau and Jamie Kronik.
Bryson has teased the upcoming EP with a new track called "Cut Bait," which he describes as a "scrappy little three minutes of joy."
He elaborated on CBC's q, explaining that the song is "about how we wander and wonder and the possibility of the good moments we find.""
