Band - The Wild Turkeys

From the cold, rual area of northern Ontario, comes this sizzling hot new band of pickin' and grinnin' cowboys. The Wild Turkeys fun stage pressance and energetic sound has recently been coined as “Swamp Stomp Country”. Armed with fiddles, mandolin, guitar, bass, harmonica, a suitcase and tin can percussive contraption, and luscious four part harmonies, the Turkeys win over the hearts and ears of audiences everywhere. This gang of brothers first came together as a band in the winter months of 2006 and quickly formed a stronghold in the Sault Ste. Marie Algoma region. Now touring frequently, the Turkeys follow a busy schedual of playing festival dates, house concerts and small venues. Over the past two years the The Wild Turkeys have shared the stage with artists such as The Cowboy Junkies, Prairie Oyster, Creaking Tree String Quartet and Washboard Hank. They blend masterful classical technique with a youthful and vibrant approach to old time country. In April 2007, they released their first independantly funded, original album entitled “Unplucked”, which gained nominations from the Northern Ontario Music and Film Awars(MFM) for “Best Album” and “Best Songwritter”. In April 2008, they successfully released their second, full length album, “Suspendered”. The Wild Turkeys are eager to bring their unique brand of “Swamp Stomp Country” to national and international audiences. ".......The Wild Turkeys have proved themselves worthy of a place next to my Johnny Cash and Hank Williams recordings, while not taking anything too seriously....."

The Wild Turkeys look forward to continue bringing their unique brand of "Swamp-Stomp Country" to audiences all across Canada at festivals and concert halls.
