Ever heard of Shred Kelly?
Finalists in the Top 10 for the Tracks on Tracks train concert across Canada?
Winners of the Kootenay Music Award for Best Country/Folk?
Fernie, BC rockers and haters of all things work?
If you haven’t heard them or heard of them then you are missing out. The big bad Drew Shannon and I had an opportunity to catch them live here in Guelph at Van Gogh’s Ear a couple months back and I figure since I didn’t do it then, I should give them a big shout out right about now.
Now, I know what you’re thinking; “Shred Kelly? Kinda sounds like a surfer punk deal, hey bra?”
Well, no “bra” that’s not what they are.
Shred Kelly is a group out of little ol’ Fernie, British Columbia and they bring a unique sound, coined as Stoke Folk, to the table.
The five piece group puts on an impressive live show. With front man Tim Newton absolutely rocking the claw hammer style banjo and fast precise drumming by Ian Page-Shiner, not to mention the hypnotic harmonies between Tim and the beautiful Sage McBride; the show is unbelievable.
If you get a chance to see these guys live, you have to take it. The show is one that will get your feet stomping…hard.
With songs like Tornado Alley, I Hate Work, and Goodbye July I can guarantee you will have a blast.
So you go get their album while I get back to picture taking.
