Bruce Peninsula @ Q.

Who does this guy sound like?  I can’t place it.  Not Bruce, not Tom Waits, just some awesome cigarette scruff though.  I saw these guys a while back and they were great.  I think we all love choirs deep down, because 1 000 000 Schrutebucks says you were in a choir in school at least once.  Gang vocal me uuuppp.  Plus they’re on the Fleet Foxes southern gospel folk rock wave.  If we don’t get no tolls, then we don’t get no rolls.  I made that up.  Bruce Peninsula playing “Crabapples” on QTV with international interviewer superstar Jian Ghomeshi:

  1. They were much nicer to Jian than Billy Bob. I love Bruce Peninsula – as much as mashed potatoes WITH gravy. I think they’re a mix between Tom Waits and old Rolling Stones… mixed with Evangelical gospel.

  2. So my Tom Waits comparison wasn’t unwarranted? Points.

    I just saw a YouTube video of them backing up the Acorn at the Horseshoe. amazing.

  3. I’m responding to the e-mail asking who Neil Haverty sounds like. I think he sounds very much like Jim Morrison of the Doors. I wonder if they had an influence in his style. Any thoughts…
