Described as the “house band” for the Alberta music scene, the Denim Daddies brings their signature folksy country bar croons to the festival stage!
Brostrom and his fellow Edmonton-based good ol’ boys who comprise The Denim Daddies—bassist/vocalist Kurtis Cockerill, pedal steel guitarist Booker Diduck, keyboardist Sahil Chugh, and drummer/vocalist Matt King—have been finding ways to satisfy the tastes of both country music purists and newbies for over five years now, burning up every stage they grace with outlaw-inspired alt-country that parties as hard as they do. With tunes about hoedowns gone right, hootenannies gone wrong, and the pain in your heart after hearing a Luke Bryan song, they’re doing it on their own terms. Several old guys once told them that their sound was reminiscent of The Flying Burrito Brothers. A man with a mullet once said they sounded like Steve Earle.
This is a band you’d hear as the backing soundtrack to the final thirty seconds of a series tied, final game in the Stanley Cup finals game. There’s just a fun urgency in their honky-tonk swagger. You can judge for yourself as The Denim Daddies are playing The Works festival stage July 1st!
