Call it infectious country, folk rock, roots rock, or whatever you like; the Dinner Belles' debut CD, West Simcoe County, will defintely get you in a good mood.
The hooks are catchy, the harmonies are wonderful and there's a whole mess o' sounds for variety. Mandolin, banjo, piano, slide guitar, ukelele, harmonica and more add to the richness of the music.
The band is a supergroup of sorts, boasting such local vets as Terra Lightfoot (Secret Heights), Brad Germain (Marble Index), Greg Brisco (keyboards for several local players) and more.
Together they have created some incredible toe tapping, finger snapping numbers and a few beautiful, soft, slow ones as well.
The disc is available at their live shows, as a download on Bandcamp.
Below are a few live performances from the latest Supercrawl. They feature songs from the CD. Videos courtesy of Mama Loves Music.
