About the artists
From the Annapolis Valley of Nova Scotia, The Spinney Brothers are comprised
of Allan Spinney on guitar, Rick Spinney, Banjo, Gary Dalrymple, Mandolin and
fiddle and Terry Mumford on stand-up bass.
The corner stone of the Spinney Brothers musical identity is the sound of
traditional, southern-flavoured bluegrass music. The first generation bluegrass
legends have been an important musical influence, yet their music is equally
shaped by their personal lives and local heritage. By incorporating original
material, which draws from various sources, the Spinney Brothers effortlessly
intertwine the past with the present. The Spinney Brothers believes in freshness
and excitement of traditional bluegrass music. Brother duet singing, backed by
supportive and complimentary instrumentation, is the foundation of their tasteful
and recognizable sound.
The Spinney Brothers have played throughout Canada and the United States
and have won many awards, most recently from the 2007 Annual Eastern
Canada Bluegrass Association. Taking four awards; Vocal Group of the Year,
Male Vocalist of the Year (Allan Spinney), Banjo Player of the Year (Rick
Spinney) and Individual Entertainer of the Year (Rick Spinney).
