These guys are Canadian, hailing from Regina. They started in 2012 as a quartet, but the banjo guy left and ended up being replaced by a studio musician. Two of the guys started out in a alternative grunge band which didn't work out and that's when they came up with this, referred to as rocking bluegrass or evil Mumford and Sons which... yeah. Accurate. Their sound is half bluegrass and half meant to be satire which creates a sound I'm never really found before. They have three albums over the span of four years, with the most recent out in 2016 so if you like what you hear, check out some more.
The criteria was to find a country song you like, and oddly we all settled on very different types of country. Sammy went with a song from our childhood in How Do You Like Me Now by Toby Keith, and my mom chose Pure Love by Ronnie Milsap. My grandma went old school with the Ring of Fire by Johnny Cash and Will took some time before picking Leave The Night On by Sam Hunt. Anna decided on Fist City by Loretta Lynn.
Peace.
