Lineup 2016
Earthbound Trio
St Andrews, NB
Earthbound Trio, at first glance, resembles a traditional acoustic trio, but these three talented musicians blend elements of folk, funk, reggae, and rock with clever effects to create a wave of sound you would never expect from the acoustic instruments on stage. Building layer by layer, you’ll find yourself engulfed in a soundscape of grooving melodies with soulful, intriguing lyrics. When they’re not tearing up the tour circuit, the band also works together on an organic hops farm. They use the daytime hours to grow the noble vine and the night time to sing and play in the quiet of the NB countryside. This rare combination has helped the band develop their earthy signature sound which has been described as ‘Farmer Funk’.‘Lettuce Turnip the Beet’, their ECMA and Music NB nominated debut EP, reached #6 on the national !earshot folk/roots/blues charts and they took home the Harvest Jazz and Blues Galaxie Rising Star award in 2014. Their next album, a full-length release named “Soil and Ash”, is set to hit the streets mid-2015. Lend them your ears, your feet, and your mind, and Earthbound Trio will take you on a musical journey that will resonate in your thoughts and fill you with energy.
