The Janzen Boys (MN)

A big hit at the Calgary Folk Club when they played a short set in November, 2024, The Janzen Boys return to entertain us with their signature harmonies, family fun and feel-good vibes. Expect the Winnipeg-based brothers Simon and Mick, along with their dad JJ, to share loads of laughs and charming banter when they’re not delivering seamless, dreamy vocal arrangements backed by guitar, bass and mandolin. They’ve come a long way since 2014, when they hit the road for gigs consisting of busking, farmers’ markets and bars that didn’t ask what pre-teen brothers were doing on stage. The road ahead looks a lot brighter without police checks in sight. https://www.thejanzenboys.com
