The Glengarry Bhoys - Biography

A passion inspired by their respective musical backgrounds; skills honed in the Glengarry melting pot music scene; an against-the-trend-pig-minded-approach to playing their self-penned songs in the battle scarred pubs of Eastern Ontario, were the necessary ingredients that spawned what is now an internationally acclaimed alternative-roots band: The Glengarry Bhoys.

Described as bold, unorthodox, vibrant, and evocative, The Glengarry Bhoys’ hybrid of Canadian Highland Scots and French Canadian musical idioms has evolved into a sound that is weighty, authoritative, and extremely entertaining.

The Bhoys combine the best of the old and the new. Their music shows the influences of the Musical heritage of Glengarry, Canada - the mixture of French Canadian and traditional Scottish is a signature characteristic of the region they call home. In addition, the heartfelt, inspired songwriting by Graham adds a contemporary feel to the time-honoured instrumentation. The stunning vocals from Wright, Miranda Mulholland and Zig Leroux mixed with the fluent piping, virtuoso fiddling and thrilling percussion makes this an amazing crossover success.

A Glengarry Bhoys’ live show is both a musical and visual experience. Blending tradition with current pop, their music is stirring and unerringly nuanced – always within earshot of the melodic Scottish tradition!

Their years of determined touring and consistent output have cemented their status at the top of the independent alternative-roots scene. In the United-States, they are a marquee act on the Music Festival circuit, as well as their concert and club shows, which draw crowds usually associated with significant pop acts of today.
