Straight out of Canada’s murder capital, comes The Magnificent Sevens.  By combining traditional bluegrass with a sense of modern mayhem, The Mag 7s are spreading a new appreciation for folk music in the digital age.  The five piece band maintains a 100% acoustic live show while blurring the lines between bluegrass, old time country, and punk rock .  The band is currently touring in support of their new album All Kinds Of Mean; the long anticipated follow up to their debut album Dirty Roads.

Over the last half decade the Mag7s have toured Canada relentlessly, performing coast to coast countless times.  From performing at everything from high profile festivals to dive bars , and everything in between the band has proven a relentless work ethic.

 

Band roster:

David Nishikawa : Banjo/Dobro

Ida Sawabe: Bass fiddle/vocals

TJ Blair: Guitar/Banjo/vocals

Matt Magura: Guitar/Vocals

Andy Bart: Fiddle

Spencer Jo's musical journey has taken him all over the world and somehow he always makes it home. Home being Canadian prairie city Calgary, AB. Started playing punk gigs at age sixteen, 2002, with the Falling Pianos. Joined Rum Runner in 2006. In his adult life, he's independently released a solo album (2007) and made a record as a member of Rum Runner (Stumble Records June 2009). From the dingiest dive bars to the brightest festival beer gardens, he's shared stages with Greats from both the punk and folk worlds. From the streets of Vancouver to the streets of Marrakech he's sung with the hardiest of locals. Where will the road take him from here? Somewhere awesome, probably.
