| Orchestra or Band | Gordie Mackeenan and His Rhythm Boys |
| Performance Notes | Hailing from Prince Edward Island in Canada, the award-winning Gordie MacKeeman & His Rhythm Boys serve up old-time roots music with an energy level that practically yanks you out of your seat by the collar.
Gordie and the Rhythm Boys were given the Galaxie Supernova Award at the 2012 Ottawa Folk Festival for outstanding live performance. Tom Power, host of Deep Roots on CBC, recently called the Rhythm Boys his "Best Discovery Band" at the 2012 East Coast Music Awards. If ever someone was deserving of the nickname 'Crazy Legs', it must be Gordie MacKeeman. His thrilling dance style while playing the fiddle mixed with great bluegrass vocals, Peter Cann's blistering guitar solos, and the lively multi-instrumental talents of Thomas Webb and Mark Geddes, make Gordie MacKeeman & His Rhythm Boys a live experience of nonstop entertainment. |
