The Grinning Barretts are your favourite band you’ve never heard of. A fiercely DIY Celtic Punkernaut, delivering their blend of foot stomping east coast trad and gritty hardcore punk. Mixing bagpipes, banjo, and Irish Whistles with blazing guitar and hammering bass, we get crowds moving everywhere. Hailing from the rocky shores of Van-couver Island, so called Canada, to all people of good taste, conscience, and character in this increasingly fractured world. After signing along all night, you will wish you had a voice left to scream for more.

With every member doing double and triple duty. Taking turns at lead vocals and adding harmonies, all while ham-mering their instruments at 280BPM, The Barretts are:

• Pat Westy – Lead Guitar, Vocals, Production
• Aaron Bergen – Bagpipes, Whistles, Vocals
• Dave Greig – Guitar, Banjo, Vocals
• Cara McCandless – Bass, Guitar, Vocals
• Russ Lovat – Drums, Vocals
