The Arts Station

Upbeat Celtic Music

This inspired and talented young band from Victoria, BC challenges you to pin a label on their music. The Gruff filter numerous folk traditions through the sieve of modern experience to create a truly unique sound. From old-time to country; from bluegrass to good old rock ‘n’ roll; these young songwriters harmonize, sing and shout songs of joy, sorrow, and everything in between. The Gruff bring a smile to every audience.

The essence of The Gruff was hatched from the days of traditional Irish pub tunes - then called Billy Goats Gruff - evolved and grew together, creating a comfortable rapport with each. Their three-part harmonies, rich and sweet, have been known to melt a heart of stone. The Gruff’s instrumental prowess is unusual in such a young group and they have traveled from coast to coast, stomping stages as far away as Halifax.
