Gordie MacKeeman + The Rhythm Boys

Hailing from Prince Edward Island and led by fiddling wiz Gordie “Crazylegs” MacKeeman, the roots quartet features all-star pickers and singers, with everything from down-home country to reckless rockabilly to intricate bluegrass. Their exhilarating live shows instantly enamors audiences with their engaging, sometimes jaw-dropping, stagecraft and showmanship. The band features Gordie MacKeeman (fiddle, feet, and vocals), Peter Cann (acoustic and electric guitar, vocals), Thomas Webb (bass, banjo, guitar, vocals) and Jason Burbine (drums, bass, guitar, vocals). 

Crowds all over the world stare in awe as Gordie plays with joyful abandonment. They create new fans at festivals such as Denmark’s Tonder Festival and the UK’s Glastonbury Festival, to Merlefest in North Carolina and the Port Fairy Folk Festival in Australia. Onlookers report Gordie and the Boys to be festival highlights time and time again. This is mostly due to the elastic legged band leader nicknamed “Crazylegs” as he demonstrates his unique blend of Canadian clogging and step dancing.

Since their inception, they have collected a mantle full of awards and recognitions, and their discography includes Gordie MacKeeman + The Rhythm Boys, Pickin N’ Click’n, Laugh, Dance & Sing, and Dreamland.

The Rhythm Boys have performed to enthusiastic audiences at sold-out venues, festivals and theatres across Canada, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Belgium, Malaysia and Australia.
