The Slocan Ramblers are Canada’s bluegrass band to watch. Rooted in tradition, fearlessly creative and possessing a bold, dynamic sound, The Slocans have become a leading light of today’s acoustic music scene.

With a reputation for energetic live shows, impeccable musicianship and an uncanny ability to convert anyone within earshot into a lifelong fan, The Slocans have been winning over audiences from Merlefest to RockyGrass and everywhere in between. They're the 2020 IBMA Momentum Band of the Year Award Winner and a 2019 Juno Award Nominee.

Their new album, Up the Hill and Through the Fog, channels the past two years of brutal pandemic upheaval and personal loss into a surprisingly joyous collection of songs. The album showcases the breadth of their varied influences while staying true to their roots in the rough and tumble bluegrass scene of Toronto’s no-nonsense bars and dancehalls.

This is roots music without pretension, art powerful enough to cut through the fog of the past two years and chart a more hopeful course forward. Say hello to your new favourite band!
