Peterborough’s Mayhemingways return to The Carleton with The Folk & Country Line on Thursday, June 9th. Show time is 9:00 PM and it’s only $10 cash at the door for a full night of live music.

Mayhemingways are an eclectic and full-sounding duo from the musical hotbed of Peterborough, Ontario. Their music drifts timelessly from folk-rock to traditional to country to something brand new. The band has been described as fuzz-folk with Cajun, bluegrass, and Celtic influences. Tom Wilson of Blackie and the Rodeo Kings and Junkhouse writes, “Mind-bending and original music with deep roots in the tradition of dark North American folk.”

Lead singer Benj Rowland switches between accordion, banjo, guitar, and tenor guitar while holding down the bass with foot pedals. Josh Fewings plays drums, percussion and adds back-up vocals.

The Folk & Country Line release their debut EP – Traveling With Strangers – at this show so it’ll be a celebration of the culmination of a lot of work!
