Dubbed as the Broken Social Scene of roots music, The Magnificent 7's are a musical collective based out of dirty downtown Winnipeg. Combining traditional bluegrass instrumentation with a sense of modern mayhem, The Magnificent Sevens create their own brand of prairie inspired roots music. Heavily entrenched in D.I.Y. culture, The Mag 7's respect music as an artform and not just an "industry". No ego's..no $40.00 hair cuts..just a group of people who love music, and aim to play it from the heart.

WINTER DANCE PARTY - Buddy Holly Tribute - February 7th @ the Park Theatre, Winnipeg Mb.
Hey guys! I was at the Shine On festival playing in a band with Ben - and seeing you perform was absolutely wicked. Hopefully we can meet sometime soon, all of you are amazing! Carly Dow
That was a great set at Rancho Relaxo. A epiphany of gospel-bluegrass-country, the essence of the genre itself. It's like remastering some old-footage of the Grand Ole Opry, dynamic charm, squeaky clean, and liberating. These young-guns from Winnipeg deliver the goods, pulsating rhythms, and foot-stomping magnets--that sounds natural as sweet as pie. Keep to your musical vision.
