Foggy Hogtown Boys

For a while, The Foggy Hogtown Boys may have been a well kept secret, but apparently there have been some leaks. Over the last five years, an ever-widening audience has been raving about the band!  With four critically acclaimed CDs and tours from coast to coast, the Toronto-based Foggy Hogtown Boys have established themselves as  one of the most exciting bluegrass bands in the country.

From the band's inception, it was apparent that this particular group of musicians had a special chemistry that translated into some very powerful and entertaining music.  This is not just five hot pickers in the same place, playing the same tune at the same time. The Foggy Hogtown Boys are a band with a unique sound that is the sum of its members' personalities and musicianship.  Although instrumentally the band has the power to dazzle any audience, the song is always given top priority.  This commitment is evident in the care taken to arrange each song in a way that allows the story and feeling of the lyrics to surface and not be overshadowed by pyrotechnics.

Although, the group draws a great deal of inspiration and material from the "golden age" of bluegrass and country music, solid original songs written by members in the band blend well among the old chestnuts.  In 2005 they released "Northern White Clouds" - a 100Canadian content bluegrass album that features some excellent writing from all the members of the band. In 2007 - "Pigtown Fling" - a collection of original bluegrass and old-time instrumentals. Their latest album - "The Golden West" - (2008) is a mix of original and traditional bluegrass music with elements of old-time music and honky-tonk thrown in.

The Foggy Hogtown Boys always delivers a highly entertaining and diverse show; ballads, breakdowns, gospel quartets and lots of laughs!

You can count on a thoroughly professional attitude any time you engage the band. Music is played on schedule and setup and tear down are done in a discreet and unobtrusive manner. They take care of all the details and ensure that everything pertaining to their performance, runs smoothly.

According to the needs of your event, the band will arrive dressed appropriately; overalls and cowboy hats one day, suits and ties the next. They clearly understand that each event is different and they make their show fit the moment. They are as comfortable providing background music as they are performing in a concert setting.

For any event with a country, down east, rural, southern U.S. or Canadiana theme," The Foggies" are an exceptional choice!
