Cam Penner and Gravel Road

Home » Artists » Cam Penner and Gravel Road

Not performing in 2012

(AB)  Country, Roots

http://www.thegravelroad.com/

Cam Penner live. Unvarnished, tale telling songs of misguided love, endless nights and long hauls through the prairies.

 

Cam (guitar, harmonica, vocals) has been penning these kinds of songs for the last ten years. Songs about real people, real situations, sufferin' and laughin: Laughin' at your sufferin' kinda songs. These are songs inspired by rolling fields, vast skies, hard luck and long, cold, Canadian nights. Songs that win fans one at a time, but keep them for life.

 

Cam Penner continues to define his vocal style with a mature, confident, soulful quality that captures the listener's attention.

 

Cam Penner has shared stages and opened up for Fred Eaglesmith, Romi Mayes, Carolyn Mark, Bill Bourne, Greg Trooper, Blackie & the Rodeo Kings, John Prine, Lyle Lovett, Richard Thompson and the Flatlanders.

 

Then there's the Gravel Road, the die-hards, the spit and grit of the music. With all pistons firing this band comes out kickin' and gets the crowd on their feet. These three extraordinary musicians, Jeff Drummond, Ross Watson and Adam Esposito are the cornerstone, providing a driving blend of bass, electric guitar, vocals and drums as the backbone to Cam's plaintive and poetic lyrics. Old country, rock n' roll, and Americana blend to create a delicious, get your ass on the dance floor, roots-rock sound.
