Authentic and uplifting—this four-piece band feels grassy at a folk-fest, and folky at a grass-fest. Their sound is something in between: a nod to traditional instrumentation but an eye towards the future of acoustic music. Some bonafide Canadian Americana. The Doggone Brothers Band will tickle your ears with tasty licks, warm your heart with soulful songs, and give you a laugh along the way with their cheeky banter.
In 2024 the band elevated their game with some highlight shows at Canmore Folk Fest where they hosted a workshop stage with the legendary John Reischman & the Jaybirds, and led an old-time dance with award-winning polymath Jake Blount.
This Kootenay-based band is Clayton Parsons on banjo, guitar and dobro, and Michael Hepher on mandolin, octave mandolin, and guitar. Rounding out the sound is Leah Gardner (fiddle), and Rhonda Shippy (upright bass).
The band is anticipating their first full-length album as a 4-piece, Hard Luck Livin’, which is scheduled for full release in April 2025.
