SHORT BIO:
The Lonesome Town Painters are a high energy, traditional bluegrass band hailing from Vancouver, British Columbia. These fellas have a look, style and sound that harkens back to the raw and ragged edge of the genre, drawing deeply from the masters of the golden era. Their act features songs from classic artists as well as original songs that are grounded in tradition, anchored by the soaring harmonies as well as driving and spirited instrumentation.
Press:
“The Lonesome Town Painters excel at combining skill and sentiment. Unlike some of their contemporaries, they make no attempt to veer from the template or add any unexpected elements to the mix. Rather, they do the opposite by simply adhering to a familiar formula. It works to their advantage; every offering sounds like a standard, one that’s practically indistinguishable from any of the music made by the masters. The result is an album that already stands the test of time, courtesy of the fact that every offering keeps to that singular spirit of classic bluegrass through its emphasis, execution, and articulation. Simply stated, nominations for the IBMA Bluegrass Awards ought not be out of the question.”

"The Lonesome Town Painters have presented us with another album of their hardcore traditional bluegrass stylings. Their third release, Go Out & Paint The Town, is arguably the most original of their recordings thus far. The Lonesome Town Painters are continuing to keep tradition tradition alive while also bringing their own original ideas to the forefront in their best work to date."
- Braeden Paul, Bluegrass Today
"The Lonesome Town Painters certainly meet, and even surpass, expectations. Their picking, lead singing and harmonies are impeccable. And their original songs (bandmembers wrote nearly all these 13 tracks) are starkly original and emotionally and thematically varied, even as they hew to strict early bluegrass conventions."
-Bob Allen, Bluegrass Unlimited
