Astounding three part harmonies, matchless energy, and rhythms that move you to the core are a few of the reasons The Stables are so quickly becoming a widespread name Not to mention they’ve toured the entire country coast to coast at least twice a year since they formed the band, including their most recent trip with USS. Surprisingly, their big sound comes from instruments that may have you wondering what time period your concert ticket just entered you in And wondering, “How’d they learn to do that?!?”. A wash-tub bass accompanied by a kit with a suitcase kick-drum may look simple, but when combined with the banjo, acoustic guitar and mouth-harp, it’s nothing short of an explosive resonance when this trio takes this stage On top of the fact that their setup and image are a great gimmick, they live up to the hype with seriously wicked tunes! Try not to dance, I dare ya ;-).

It all began around a fire, along side a small lake in south-eastern Ontario, Canada when three long time friends resolved to embark on a musical journey together Billy got conscripted ;-). For over ten years Blind Billy Blasko, Darren Clarke and Poor Pelly were admired and respected singer-songwriters on the Durham music circuitThey are quite the Mavens out there. People really give these dudes props and, as everyone knows, no band can ever really make if they don't have their home town on lock.. After a couple of attempts of amalgamating with other local talent, the trio came to recognize the magic that transpired from their shared energies coming together musically. With their creative vigor comes a comradeship that combines to deliver to their audiences a show not to be forgotten Although they really know how to get the crowd drinkin’… So fans may not remember the WHOLE show, but they’ll wake up at least knowing they had a good time ;-).

The Stables have been placed into numerous musical genres, and rightfully so; their sound encompasses all facets from folk, to bluegrass, to punk Punk-Country, Blackgrass, Bluegrass-Punk, Punktry… Folk-Punk could be made into “Funk” but that genre’s already taken…. The Stables are fronted by three singer-songwriter/multi-instrumentalists, who each have a style unto their own Yet another kickass twist to The Stables is that they all take turns being the ‘front-man’ which makes for an awesome mix of influences and styles in one show.; thus creating the unique sound that is The Stables. As quoted by Lonely Vagabond, “…rousing folk-country trio, a high energy sonic hoedown, catchy, charming, the spirit of steamrolling along the backwoods of the south, in our own backyard.” It’s The Stables eclectic vibe, in addition to their incredible talent that has grabbed the attention of music professionals and audiences alike.
