About The Barrel Boys:
A bluegrass powerhouse featuring rich vocal harmonies, killer picking, and a fun-loving, down-to-earth stage presence, The Barrel Boys are a unique staple of Canadian roots music. Informed by the deep traditions of bluegrass, country, old-time, and Americana, The Boys have crafted their unmistakable sound into a joyful and deeply soulful musical experience.
The Barrel Boys' fourth full-length album “Chicken in the Window” has earned them nominations for “Vocal Group of the Year” and “Traditional Album of the Year” at the upcoming 2026 Canadian Folk Music Awards.
"It's a blend of soul-soaked country and raw, indie bluegrass - nostalgic without being corny, emotional without feeling overdone. There's grit in it, and comfort too. Like a familiar smell you haven't noticed in years.
- Sasha Berndt, Hugh's Room Live
"There's power in gifted harmony, where voices woven together embellish the mood of a song and fill your heart; The Barrel Boys have that power."
- Pat Moore, Bluegrass Canada Magazine
