A bluegrass favourite will be taking time out of their busy cross-Canada tour schedule to provide a little traditional entertainment at the Chase Community Hall April 10.
The Spinney Brothers will be making their way from one ocean to the next as they travel west to share their many musical talents.
The band, who claims Annapolis Valley, Nova Scotia as their home, debuted their first album in 1992 and has since made their presence known on an international level. Their first album showcased what they describe as a tight brother duet vocal style that was immediately recognized for its energetic and distinctive sound.
Since then, the band has released a total of eight albums, with a ninth on its way. The album, titled No Borders, is set to hit the airwaves in May and has many talking.
First generation bluegrass legends have been a very important influence on the band, but the true source of the magic comes directly from their own lives and experiences. The group even cites their local heritage as one of the many contributors.
The band uses these resources to effortlessly intertwine the sounds of past and present into a new and unique style of bluegrass.
Allan Spinney, Rick Spinney, Gary Dalrymple and Darryl Hebb each play their own distinctive role in the band’s sound. With the brothers’ duet singing, backed by the supportive and complimentary instrumentation, the band was able to formulate what they believe is a truly recognizable sound.
The Spinney Brothers believe in the freshness and excitement of traditional bluegrass music.
Surely they are doing something right, as the band has taken home more than 30 different awards including multiple counts of Band of The Year at the ECBMA’s, as well as vocal group of the year, and were celebrated with additional nominations as well. The band has also made it into the Nova Scotia Country Music Hall of Fame and has been named the only full-time touring bluegrass band in the country.
Their success has taken them around the world and back, but on April 10 the four-man bluegrass sensation will be taking to the stage in Chase. The show is set to begin at 7 p.m. and tickets are available in advance for $15 at G-Force Board Shop, or by calling Denise at 250-577-3857.
Tickets will also be available at the door for $20.
