  • Bio

    “There is no pretense, there seems to be no thought given to what they’re doing and to that end they’re brilliant, absolutely brilliant.” -- Craig Norris, CBC Radio "These Guelph-based boys are entertainers, and there’s no doubt that they are on the road to success." -- Alanna Memme, In-Discover/ Orange Lounge "It's already well established the six members of the Guelph band bust out a gnarly live act. These young musicians have already gigged and rehearsed themselves to a level of sophistication that is attracting the attention of booking agents, festival directors and backers. They might just have what it takes to make it in pop music." -- Rob O'Flannigan, Guelph Mercury "Most Adorable Group: Toss-up between Ohbijou and Dancehall Free for All." -- Panic Manual recap of Hillside 2009 For four years, Dancehall Free for All’s diverse instrumentation has been the source behind their success. Playing across the province in some of Ontario’s finest festivals and venues, as well as receiving radio play from CBC and campus stations across the country, these 6 lads from Guelph Ontario have created a new style of indie rock mixed with the music they’ve always loved—Soul, Jazz, Funk, Folk and Rock. Their upcoming 2010 release, “Creature of Habit EP” epitomizes their dynamic sound. With a tight rhythm section, high-energy horn lines and truthful lyrics, from a soulful voice, Dancehall Free for All are your dance rock jukebox, and a one-way ticket to a brilliant night of live music.
