The Jailbirds (CA)

Not long after the release of their debut EP, The Black River, the band was nominated for and won “Best Rock” at the 2018 Mississauga Music Awards and since then, won "Best Live Band" at the 2022 Mississauga Music Awards. Since their initial release, The Jailbirds have drawn comparisons to the likes of Black Sabbath, Soundgarden, Deep Purple, Monster Truck, Royal Blood and other such bands. They have molded the rock genre into something entirely their own while absorbing influence from all kinds of genres and eras of music.
