+
NEW COUNTRY REHAB is a four-man band that takes inspiration from old country songs and folk ballads -then spin them into modern, roots-rock, Americana. For a band with a double bassist, a rock-n-roll telecaster wheeler, a fiddle-playing singer, and a drummer who plays saw-blades and goat hooves, New Country Rehab uses much skill, dynamics and thought provoking song-writing to achieve their amazingly cohesive sound. They play loud, they play low, they play fast, they play slow... and all of it with passion for the songs, commitment to the groove, and love for performance. All the while they keep the fun in their performance.
+
They cut through the clutter of watered-down musical imitations with a modern, high-voltage, alt-country sound. Combining sharp innovation and a deep respect and knowledge of timeless musical themes and motifs, New Country Rehab’s powerful music is full of love, loss, longing and joy.
+
Spearheaded by lead singer and fiddle player John Showman joined by Charles James on guitar, Ben Whiteley on double bass and Roman Tomé on drums and backing vocals, the Toronto based collective is ”poised to be the next big thing in Canadian music” Tom Power, CBC Radio. Growing audiences in the U.S. And Europe are responding to New Country Rehab’s infectious love and enthusiasm for the music they are playing. The band make it, ”super accessible, not only to fans of roots/folk/country, but even to the broader, less country inclined audience” -- Josef Jensen, Indie Artist Podcast.
+
This artistic vision and original writing has earned the respect of critics, ”a debut that demonstrates class” (Rootstime.be) and welcome receptions of audiences, ”…even with the deep pool of technical talent here, the focus is on maintaining a mood over all else”(torontoist.com). Maverick magazine’s Russell Hill describes the band’s sound as ”Successfully merging the old and new in a rambunctious way” and describes the band as having”their feet planted firmly on the ground, this Canadian band has the right intentions and there is to be no stopping them.”
