You won’t be able to stay in your seats as the genre-defying Gordie Mackeeman and His Rhythm Boys get you grooving, performing everything from down-home country to reckless rockabilly to intricate bluegrass.

The Music - Gordie MacKeeman & His Rhythm Boys

There’s no other band around like Gordie MacKeeman and His Rhythm Boys. The roots quartet features all-star pickers and singers, and the result is an eclectic signature sound that draws upon bluegrass, old time country, folk, rockabilly, swing, Celtic, and other styles in genre-defying fashion. Crowds love them everywhere they go, thanks to Gordie’s charm, flying fiddle and feet, and their unique blend of just about every roots genre going. They love it all, old and new, and put on a variety show that has the fans dancing, laughing and singing along.

“A fiddle fuelled, frenzied hootin’, tootin’, pickin’ and clickin’ old-time, that’s what. Sound like a mouthful? Exactly.” – Scenestr
