biographical info

Don't let their tongue-in-cheek name fool you, rather let their raucous live performance be a testament to their unique blend of country, dixieland, and Manitoba roots music. Over the course of our 2010-11 cross Canada touring, they've performed over 200 shows from BC to Nova Scotia, notable performances included the Salmon Arm Roots and Blues, the Kitchener Blues Festival, the Deep Roots Music Festival, and the Robson Valley Music Festival. Their unmistakable vintage inspired sound and zeal for live performance has garnered them acclaim from an array of critics and audiences alike. Working with Juno nominated and Western Canadian Music Award winning Len Milne at Bedside Studios, The F-Holes released their debut self titled album in March 2009. The album was recorded in part live off the floor and on two inch tape with the intent to fully capture the band's live sonic intricacies. This collection of songs has earned rave reviews and showcases the band's attention to musicianship, clever arrangements and honest songwriting. With their unique instrumentation, The F-Holes create a style bending and intriguing musical experience that is truly their own. The F-Holes released their second album, Angel in the Corner, on August 27th, 2011.
