Hello to all of our festival friends and family. We are very excited to be announcing the lineup for our ten year anniversary at our new venue just outside Brantford Ontario!! I am absolutely thrilled to announce that Rumpke Mountain Boys from Cincinnati Ohio will be headlining BRMF 10 on the Saturday night!! We are so honoured to be hosting RMB’s first Canadian show!! The Rumpke Mountain Boys combine signature vocals, a unique command of string instruments (acoustic guitar, mandolin, upright bass and banjo) and dynamic special effects into a singular musical experience. An emotion filled musical stream of consciousness with no setlist, minimal structure, and intuitive improvisational flow. In this way, they summon the energy of the crowd as their guide in linking just the right music to precise moments in time. Grateful Dead Hour host David Gans proclaimed, “One of the things I love about the Rumpke Mountain Boys is that there’s a fundamental honesty in their presentation. This is something they share with my other heroes, Donna the Buffalo and the Grateful Dead. They don’t make set lists ahead of time, they don’t rehearse their songs to a fare-thee-well-- they perform in real time. All four of them write, which is very important, and they draw songs from a tremendous variety of sources... being a musician is a life-long learning experience, if you’re doing it right, and they are.” We will be welcoming back The Human Rights to headline on Friday night!! They put on such an amazing performance at BRMF8 that we are looking forward to having them back again this year. The ten-piece modern-roots-Reggae band, The Human Rights, headlined festival stages, soft seat theatres, and club dates across Ontario in 2019 and have just finished mixing and mastering their third, soon-to-be-released studio album. The band features the DJ stylings of Juno nominee Friendlyness (formerly of Big Sugar & Culture Shock) and the soulful voice of Juno nominee Tréson on lead vocals, a 3-piece blazing horn section, and the legendary Bernie Pitters (Toots and the Maytals, Sly & Robbie, Leroy Brown) on keyboards. Over the past 12 years it has become clear that no matter what stage, The Human Rights are a guaranteed knockout and one of Canada's premier touring reggae acts. Big Rock favorites The Unseen Strangers are back!! The Unseen Strangers have ambitiously cultivated a musical identity shaped by good old-fashioned bluegrass, the limitless barrage of contemporary musical influences, and a curious sense of humor. Newgrass ambassadors, The Unseen Strangers favor innovation over convention. For their newest album, Stranger Places (April 1st, 2016), the band challenged the limits of what they are capable of, exploring the gamut of what can be done with strings. The result is a collection of fun, stunning songs featuring inimitable instrumental performances. “Bluegrass Band Competition Winners 2013” ~ Delfest – MD, USA “They have music that engages all the senses and leaves listeners longing for more.” ~ Bluegrass Unlimited Magazine There will be a lot of other amazing bands and artists for your listening/visual pleasure!! BRMF 10 is not to be missed!!!!! I would like to thank Kyle Haight for all the work he put into the poster and Facebook banner!! As usual you have outdone yourself again!
