The Hypochondriacs
Saturday, 6/24 – 10:30pm on The Roots Stage
Hailing from Fredericton, NB, this six piece powerhouse is taking Eastern Canada by storm with their high octane live show; prolific heartfelt ballads, and superb musicianship. The Hypochondriacs are: Josh Bravener (lead vocals/guitar), Connor Fox (lead guitar), Andrew DeMerchant (drums), Kelly Waterhouse (vocals/sax), Jeannine Gallant (vocals/trombone) and seasoned bass player Jamie Guitar, the Hypochondriacs have resurrected from the traditional country crypt a fresh and raw take to the standard genre. Though profoundly influenced by the likes of George Jones, Hank Williams and Johnny Cash through further inspection one will hear early Memphis rockabilly, a taste of New Orleans, 60’s doo-wop, 70’s folk-rock and all the way up to the ’80s cowpunk movement. Brace for impact: it’s a time of Reckoning. Welcome to HYPO NATION.
