  • Bio

    The Bogghoppers are a Montreal-based acoustic trio who blend the rhythm and drive of old-time stringband music with the creativity and texture of their contemporary roots. The band is comprised of Glenn Patterson (host of the Thursday night old-time jams at Grumpy's Pub) on fiddle, Tyler Rudolph (of Vancouver's Viper Central) on vocals and banjos, and Dara Weiss (of Montreal's Yonder Hill) on vocals and guitar. Conceived by a mutual passion for open chords and rich melodic textures, their love of tradition fuels their desire to prove how current that tradition really is. Often joining forces with gigueuse and dance caller Jacynthe Guimond, they blend southern mountain music with elements of Quebecois, Cajun and Bluegrass. Whether playing a dance, a local venue or a living room in St. Henri, their apt humour, love of storytelling, and raw musical honesty give them universal appeal. Les Bogghoppers sont un trio old-time-folk-acoustique-bluegrass dont la musique se caractérise par un beau mélange de chansons et tounes et originales et traditionnelles. Avec la gigueuse/câlleuse Jacynthe Guimond au rendez-vous, on saura vous emporter avec des voix mieleuses, des valses entraînantes, des ballades émouvantes et des reels endiablés aux sons de violon, banjo, guitare, mandoline et voix! .... .. ............The Bogghoppers on Facebook.. ..
