With their banjos, mandolins, dobros, scrap metal pieces and other instruments in tow, Winnipeg’s The Crooked Brothers will play The Northern in Fernie on Thursday Sept. 29, 2011.

With special guest Shred Kelly. The evening begins at 10 p.m. and runs til 2 a.m. Admission is $5 at the door.

The Crooked Brothers’ blend of timeless country classic sounds, back porch blues and stomping scrap yard funk has gained the attention of many folk festival and roots music fans. The band’s three-part harmonies are offset by singer Matt Foster’s trademark charming “growl” – backed by a pumping, folk/roots beat.
