Lineup 2012
The Willie Stratton Band
Halifax, NS
Willie Stratton is not only a nice boy from Bedford. The Willie Stratton Band is a howling, seething cyclone of god-fearing folk music. Comprised of the band’s founder, chief writer and namesake Willie Stratton, his half-wolf little sister Grace, and the stranded
and frantic Albertan Magnus von Tiesenhausen; the Willie Stratton Band has been stomping their feet, gnashing their teeth and belting their lungs out since they were formed in the winter of last year. Lashing together three part harmonies, thundering war drums, and a whole lot of soul, Willie Stratton is slightly less likely to make you feel OK than they are to kill your boredom absolutely stone cold dead.
