Goth bluegrass takes root at the Downbeat

Do you like to listen to banjos and steel guitars on a rainy afternoon with a bottle of whiskey clutched to your chest like it’s a lifeline?

If not, go see Elliott BROOD at the Downbeat Lounge on Sunday, February 5.

You'll get a hankerin' for hunkerin' down with hardcore death country when you get a taste of Elliott BROOD.

For a fix of the darkest banjo playing west of Alberta, step up to the Downbeat on Sunday with your toonie in hand.

Just be sure and step up early 'cause the show starts by 10 p.m. and it's going to be good.

Elliott BROOD managers at weewerk said the following about the band on their website:

Elliott BROOD

Elliott BROOD call their music Death Country – dark, gritty folk music built around whiskey-drenched vocals and lyrics evoking images of love, loss and murder.

In their soul-thumping bluegrass songs, banjo keeps time to a strange and chunky angular stomp, with vicious Kentucky-hardcore acoustic guitar and somber, achingly confessional vocal harmonies.

The Toronto-based trio's six-song debut EP Tin Type is resembles an old-time photo album.

Order it now from weewerk if you're a fan of The Handsome Family, Johnny Dowd, Jon-Rae and the River, or The FemBots.
