BACKWOODSMEN - LIVE in Concert!

Traditional folk songs reworked with contemporary arrangements and adapted lyrics, resulting in Cross Cut - a CD and illustrated songbook.
About this Event

Peterborough County has one of North America's richest folk-song traditions. Between 1929 and 1959, internationally recognized scholars documented more than 3,000 orally transmitted folk songs in the region. This little known piece of regional history is presented by Backwoodsmen. The group created contemporary arrangements and adapted lyrics, resulting in Cross Cut - a CD and illustrated songbook.

Backwoodsmen is Al Kirby on dobro and guitar, Rob Cory on guitar and harmonica, and Rob Niezen on guitar and mandolin.

Check out Ballad of Bill Dunbar LIVE at Shelter Valley Concert Series last October.

Pineapple Productions is extremely proud to present this exclusive concert at our favourite Belleville venue - UpFront Cafe!
