Roadside Scarecrow are a Hell Town-based band playin’ old, gritty, dark country meets catchy, up-beat rock “n” roll! Formed in Halifax on September 9th, 2017. Founding members Adam Wood and Andrew Touesnard later recruited Bruce Manion in January 2018, Colin Boutilier in February 2018 and Jeff Brown would join in March of 2019 to complete the 5-piece line-up.

Jake Duggan is a Classic/Outlaw singer songwriter from Tatamagouche

On ‘Absinthe & Smoke‘, Corey Isenor moves away from the country sound of his previous albums to focus on more of a roots– rock, folk-pop sound. Over the course of the ten tracks, the Nova Scotian songwriter vigilantly explores themes of youthful disenchantment, our existential place in the modern world, the passage of time, and – of course – romance.
