JMI is very excited to
announce the exclusive Canadian signing of Nova
Scotia's award winning

We have been patiently waiting for years for the
right bluegrass band to come along, and this group
is definitely it. Their collective talent is truly
remarkable, combining virtuoso musicianship with

Spinney Brothers Go Full Time 2010 !
The
Spinney Brothers will
be starting the 2010 season on the strength of
their current CD "Side By Side". The Spinneys
recently took home five awards at the Eastern
Canadian Bluegrass Music Awards Show and have just
been nominated for a prestigious East Coast Music
Award for Bluegrass Recording of the Year.
The Spinney Brothers have recently been
selected to be inducted into the Nova Scotia
Country Music Hall of Fame September 2010.
The 2010 tour season will see the Spinneys
travelling coast to coast in Canada, while south
of the border they will span from Maine to
California. The Spinneys 2010 season is booked up
very solid and they are already looking forwards
to 2011. The Spinney Brothers are encouraged
with the support they have received from promoters
interested in including an "International" element
to their event. The Spinneys are very excited to
be hitting the road and for the chance to perform
for as many new audiences as they can.
