The Sumner Brothers Tour Kickoff – Thursday February 23

Join us Thursday February 23 for The Sumner Brothers tour kickoff show with The Greff Band and The Dave Phillips Band!

The Sumner Brothers
It is The Sumner Brother’s commitment to authenticity that first drew the brothers to country, folk, roots and blues music. Finding inspiration in the style of Johnny Cash, Townes Van Zandt, and Neil Young, The Sumner Brothers have opened for such acts as Sean Hayes (San Francisco), Hillstomp (Portland), The Deep Dark Woods (Saskatoon) and have shared the stage with Vancouver heavies C.R. Avery and Rich Hope.

The Greff Band
The Greff Band plays roots rock, but with a grit and modernity that defies that tag. They play atmospheric rock that still rocks, hard. At once ethereal and fickle, then sweeping into powerful crescendos, the Greff Band’s music is best enjoyed live with a whisky and beer.

Dave Phillips Band
Dave Phillips began playing locally in his hometown of Vancouver as the guitar slinging frontman for his first group The R.A.F. While writing and recording their 2007 EP ‘514 Squadron’ Phillips was drafted to play guitar on Brian Dunn’s ‘Hash Country’ sessions with Mark Browning (Ox) at the helm. This experience was a catalyst for a dramatic shift in Phillips’ own songwriting and musical vision. Once led astray by the two Ontario cowboys, Phillips began to drift further and further into the loosely defined borders of alt-country.
