Under the Rocks

Under the Rocks is one of Canada’s premier emerging bluegrass acts. Tackling festival after festival and stage after stage, UTR has become known for having more fun on those stages than was previously thought possible! Featuring upright bass, acoustic guitar, fiddle and banjo/mandolin the band makes a big sound that tips its cap to traditional American bluegrass, while incorporating fiddle and singer-songwriter music intentionally put together with clever, progressive song arrangements and jaw-dropping instrumental breaks. Their show comes with a list of warnings: you might dance until your shoes catch fire, laugh until it hurts, cry your eyes out, or have your face melted right off!! This heartfelt, talented string quartet blends uplifting energy with a reflective reverence for the difficulties of reality that marries joy and sorrow and declares “YES”. Yes to all that it means to be alive on this planet, here and now.
