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).
