Neo Folk Indie String Band – The BelleRegards

Neo Folk Indie String Band – The BelleRegards

belleRegardsWith a pinch of bluegrass, a dash of rockabilly, and a dollop of neo folk, this 4-piece string band cooks up high-energy live shows, foot-stomping rhythms, trad breaks, and good humour.

Influenced by artists ranging from Johnny Cash and Hank Williams, to Stevie Wonder, The Beatles, The Clash and Fleetwood Mac, The BelleRegards serve-up something for every musical taste, with a heaping helping of indie edge on the side.

Led by a duo of singer-songwriter vocalists, the band’s sound is spiced-up by guitars, mandolin, harmonica, slapped and bowed upright bass, and old-timey fiddle.

They’re good, new-fashioned, foot-stompin’ fun, and we know you’ll find their sound simply ‘delicious’.

MAZThis exciting quartet has bridged the space between electric jazz and French Canadian folk with brilliant results. They describe themselves as a bold assertion of Quebec’s traditional identity with a modern edge but, to their audience, they’re pure spirit-moving, fun-loving, aural magic. Their debut album, Telescope (2011), garnered a Juno nomination for Instrumental Album of the Year plus three nominations at the Canadian Folk Music Awards. In their dynamic live performances, the band pulls off a daring balance between fervour and trance, and acoustic and electric, on tenor banjo, violin, electric guitar, mandolin, keyboards, bass and podorythmie (footwork like step dancing or flat footing while sitting in a chair).
