 No, not this one. Today we're talking about local 11-piece gospel/folk collective Bruce Peninsula. They are stacked with talented singers and musicians, including Casey Mecija of Ohbijou. I would put them in the same category as Sunparlour Players - both bands seem to channel a higher power through their music.
After releasing a 7" and playing a sold out acoustic show at St. Andrew-by-the-Lake Church on Toronto Island last month, Bruce Peninsula somehow found adequate transportation for themselves and took off on a seven-date East Coast tour which ends this Saturday at the Whipper Snapper Gallery. Thanks to Lauren at NO SHAME (the show's promoter) I managed to get a hold of Peninsulite Neil Haverty on the road to chat about writing songs on the porch, how they manage to tour, and how it's all about balance when it comes to the weather. Keep reading for the complete interview.
