this is THE SHOES

Vancouver’s this is THE SHOES write and perform raw-toned, dirty rock & roll with a nod to the sounds of the Mississippi Delta, Southern Soul and late 60s Garage Rock. The band’s first two years were spent playing shows around the Lower Mainland, Vancouver Island and southern BC, garnering a devoted following. With the release of their latest EP, BUST, in September of 2013 they decided to pack everything into a 1976 Ford Econoline camper van and travel across Canada, marking their first national tour. The three-month endeavour had them travel coast-to-coast, playing over forty shows. Still hungry for the road, 2014 kicked off with a Western Canada tour in February. This summer they will embark on another tour across Western Canada in June, including a performance at the 2014 Saskatchewan Jazz Festival. this is THE SHOES are bringing their brand of rock & roll to a city, town, village and hole in the wall near you.
