Thank God it’s….Thursday? Slide into the homestretch with some of the city’s finest country songsters. There’s something for country fans of all stripes in this eclectic blend of original songs and barroom staples.

CODY ALLEN JAMES & GOOD CO. is an Alt-Country band from Kingston, Ontario. What began as a solo songwriting project by Cody Allen James has evolved into a bonafide country rock outfit founded on a simple principle: write good songs and play them well. While they, of course, draw from the masters of the craft: Bob Dylan, John Prine, Gram Parsons, and The Rolling Stones, Good Co. has also been unavoidably influenced by more contemporary artists such as Neutral Milk Hotel, Deer Tick, and Demon’s Claws to name a few.

BROTHERS GENTLY is the songwriting duo of brothers Lefty and Befter. Hailing from Sydenham, Ontario, the brothers write songs that are at once hilarious and macabre. Their poetic, clever lyrics reveal the tragic and ludicrous ways we go about living. Their entertaining stage banter and natural fraternal chemistry make them an absolute joy to behold.
