It’s difficult to find a musical genre that would fully describe The Countrymen, but Folk Rock Harmony comes close. A five-piece band featuring tight four-part vocal harmony and strong instrumentation.
Primarily performing original songs and their own arrangements of lesser-known contemporary folk, the band’s lyrical inspiration is drawn from life in Cornwall, the demise of local industries and other rural issues that resonate throughout the country. The Countrymen are accomplished performers, engaging the audience with light-hearted banter and back-stories to their songs.
“These guys are really entertaining. The musicianship, vocal harmonies and the humour all come together to provide a great evenings entertainment”.
Graham Bunney
They’ve also appeared at Looe Saves The Day, supporting Paul Young’s Los Pacaminos, headlined at Bridport Folk Festival and last summer, have appeared at Bie Diap in The Netherlands, Europe’s largest folk and sea-song festival. September also saw them performing at the Mineral Point Opera House in Wisconsin USA.
Additionally, The Countrymen were shortlisted for Glastonbury’s Pilton Stage Party and have also made several appearances on Westcountry Television, BBC Radio Cornwall and numerous online folk radio stations.
“If you get the chance to see these guys (The Countrymen) in concert then take it, you will not be disappointed”
