The Tradition

The Tradition performs old-time country music. They play songs from the likes of Johnny Cash, Hank Williams, Willie Nelson, and many other country music heroes. The voice of Douglas Richard Sinclair ranges from sombre lows to moonshine highs. Sinclair performs along side his hired guns on electric guitar, bass, and drums. The Tradition satisfies the souls search for sounds from a simpler time.

The band began their rambling in early 2017, and performed at several venues and festivals around Southern Ontario. The band honed in praises from audiences at The Horseshoe Tavern, Acton Leathertown Festival, Georgetown Craft Beer Festival, and Chudleigh's Entertainment Farm.

After a rough ride down a long winding back country road, the band reunited in late 2021. The Tradition recorded "Live at Lincoln County" on December 5th 2021 with John Dinsmore at Lincoln County Social Club in Toronto. The Tradition upholds the spirit of old-time country music: raw grit, three chords, and the truth.
