It was a year and a half ago at the Winnipeg Folk Festival when, after witnessing The Bros. Landreth in full flight, Bonnie Raitt stated:
“I haven’t liked a band as much as The Bros. Landreth in a long time. To hear this kind of funky, Southern-style rock played with such originality and soul will knock you out.”
Endorsements simply don’t get any better than that, and Raitt’s response to the Bros. Landreth’s talents is just one more confirmation on why this band is the hottest young roots-rock band to come out of Canada in a very long time.
Now Salmon Am will welcome them.
“We’re pretty sure many Salmon Arm Roots and Blues fans will be including Bros. Landreth in their top five acts of our 2016 festival,” says artistic director Peter North. “Catch this dynamite homegrown act before the rest of the world comes calling!”
Just over a year ago the Winnipeg-based band hit the ground running at the Americana Music Festival in Nashville and came home with a record deal. The week following the event, Rolling Stone Magazine included the Bros. Landreth in a feature titled “The Twenty Best Things We Saw at Americana Music Fest 2014.”

Members of the Salmon Arm Folk Music Society are invited to attend the annual general meeting on at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 20.
The meeting will be held in the Askew’s Uptown Community Room.
