The Duhks Jace Everett

Canada's folk-music award-winning group The Duhks, are a band of five skilled, high-energy, acoustic musicians from Winnipeg, Manitoba. Their brand new recording is called Fast Paced World. Their blend of soul, gospel, North American folk, Brazilian samba, old time country string band, zydeco, and Irish dance music, and the attack they bring to these interwoven acoustic styles-which might as well be called sheer rock and roll. Their unique sound has also earned them a Grammy Award nomination in the Best Country Vocal Performance by a Group or Duo category, one Juno Award, two additional Juno nominations, two Folk Alliance awards, and an Americana Music Association nomination for Best Emerging Artists. Opening is Jace Everett, a country and roots artist whose song "Bad Things" was chosen as the theme for the HBO series True Blood.
