?
Montreal?s bona fide alt-country balladeers, The Jimmyriggers,?are bringing their signature reverb-drenched twang for two back-to-back weekend shows in Wakefield and Ottawa.
The Jimmyriggers?, veterans of the Montreal rock-root music scene, pick up the broken pieces of country music and put them back together with the glue of rock and roll, crafting clever songs with engaging arrangements and unique sound that flow seamlessly between light and dark, despair and redemption. ?Think Tragically Hip meets the Blue Rodeo meets The Avett Brothers.
The Jimmyriggers are: bass player David Pearce, guitarist Andre Kirchhoff, drummer Lewis Handford, and guitarist Kevin Moquin.
The Jimmyriggers acclaimed sophomore release, ?I Stand in the Weeds? brings the listener on a rich and varied musical journey. Recorded at Montreal?s Fast Forward Studios and in the band?s own rehearsal space with producer and multi-instrumentalist Mark Goodwin, veteran rock drummer R.D. Harris, and stalwart session men Rick Haworth and Eric LeMoyne, the twelve original tracks on ?I Stand in the Weeds? also includes a Flying Burrito Brothers-esque take on the Rolling Stones? tune ?Connection?.

The Jimmyriggers have appeared at numerous events including the Fringe Festival, the Montreal Folk Festival on the Canal, and BOBFEST, a Bob Dylan 70th Birthday Tribute. Recently the band won the CHOM-FM Rock N? Bull Rodeo Video contest, earning the opportunity to open for legendary American rock band Creedence Clearwater Revisited at Stade Uniprix. The Jimmyriggers have also taken their music on the road, with successful tours of Ontario and the Maritimes, and appearances at Canadian Music Week.
The Jimmyriggers play a full-tilt three set night at Wakefield?s Kaffe 1870 on Saturday, October 20th and share the stage in a roots rock triple bill with Phantom Shores and The Backyard Devils at the Elmdale House Tavern on Saturday, October 27th.
