Biography:

The Hobos are of another time. A time when pleasure usurped profession; when live music provided the soundtrack for excess; this period they bring to life on stages across Canada. With a stage show that harkens back to the days of the travelling salesman, The Hobos are the cure-all elixir for those requiring entertainment. Their brand of music is authentic and complex, mixing equal parts of the carnival, farm, tavern and circus. Two acoustic guitars, a banjo, mandolin, doghouse bass and a fiddle create the unique backdrop over which the 6 vocalists paint malevolent yet harmonious works of art. Their music drives and swings while they stomp - the crowd smiles and joins in.

Press:

"It's unbelievable how naturally old time music flows from these guys"
Shelagh Rogers - CBC Radio

“I would go out on a very firm and safe limb and say that this is the best Island produced CD of 2009.”
Charlie Hansen - The Buzz (PEI)
