The Lonesome Town Painters are a hard-driving traditional bluegrass quartet hailing from East Vancouver. These fellas have a look, style and sound that harkens back to the raw and ragged edge of the genre.
In the seven years since they met at a late-night jam session, they’ve established themselves as one of the top bluegrass acts not only in the Pacific Northwest but in the whole of Western Canada, entertaining a growing audience of fans at numerous festivals, concert halls, bars and clubs.
The band members are Patrick Bartel (banjo), Fred Beach (bass), Angelo Eidse (guitar) and Jeremy Freeman (mandolin).
