About Kentucky Eileen
|
|
Kentucky Eileen is a folk quartet born in the bush of the South Interior of BC. Based around melodic swells and four-part harmony, four of BC's most beloved musical savants comprise the lineup; Joshua Smith (The Trips), Dan Tait (Tiger Moon), Sam Balson (Dope Folk, The Stone Sparrows), and Mitch Howanyk (Wild Son). Inspired by Roger Miller and Ricky Skaggs, this quartet takes traditional American folk and bluegrass and gives it a supremely Canadian flavour - sonically akin to The Band. They are all multi-instrumentalists, experienced storytellers, and storied entertainers - prepared to bring you a spectacular show.
Songwriters Joshua Smith, Dan Tait, and Mitchell Howanyk were instrumental parts of the local music scene for a decade – and had played together numerous times. Overlapping with their individual projects Tiger Moon, Wild Son, Funk Force, and Impavid – as well as many solo ventures – this trio had performed together plenty and became very comfortable with each other's styles. Each individual had roots beyond Kelowna – each had spent a little bit of time living everywhere. They had spent years collecting the stuff that songwriters need to tell a story and had cut their teeth in many different music genres. Now, these three pillars form the basis of the quartet Kentucky Eileen. The band has recently added the talent & charisma of Sam Balson – a Vancouver-based player (Dope Folk, The Stone Sparrows, Jay Gavin & The Tired Sunday Choir). Balson brings a fantastic musical mind, a beautifully raw voice and a precise picking hand to the group. |

Claudia Russell and Bruce Kaplan
January 26th, 2020
Claudia and Bruce were very personable and clearly have been in the business for a few years. Musically - you could describe it as "Americana" with a "folksy" and "bluegrass" bent. We have always had great admiration for the singer-songwriter type. The approach of telling the story/stories behind songs was very enjoyable.
It was Bruce's first-ever performance in Canada. Welcome, Bruce.
