Don’t let their tongue-in-cheek name fool you, rather let their raucous live performance be a testament to their unique blend of country, dixieland, and Manitoba roots music. Since forming in Winnipeg in 2004, The F-Holes have shared the stage with the likes of Juno nominated artists Elliot Brood, Twilight Hotel, Nathan and The Perpetrators, as well as The Weber Brothers and Dan Frechette. They have entertained a wide variety of audience, and are slated to perform at the 2010 editions of the Salmon Arm Roots and Blues Festival, the Robson Valley Music Festival, The Deep Roots Music Festival and the Fire and Water Music Festival. Their unmistakable vintage inspired sound and zeal for live performance has garnered them acclaim from an array of critics and audiences alike.

Working with Juno nominated and Western Canadian Music Award winning Len Milne at Bedside Studios, The F-Holes released their debut self titled album in March 2009. The album was recorded in part live off the floor and on two inch tape with the intent to fully capture the band’s live sonic intricacies. This collection of songs has earned rave reviews and showcases the band’s attention to musicianship, clever arrangements and honest songwriting. With their unique instrumentation, The F-Holes create a style bending and intriguing musical experience that is truly their own.
