A five-piece folk-rock band from Fernie, BC has been shredding through the Canadian music scene. If you had an imaginary “music pot” and got some traditional folk music, boiled it over a Fire in the Arcade, added a little Smashed Pumpkins and topped it off with a Red-Hot Chili Pepper for a kick and some energy, you’d get Shred Kelly.

With the soulful and joyous voices of the group, mixed in with acoustic instruments that compliment their tone and rhythm, it makes listening to them very easy and very enjoyable. This is the definition of “feel-good” music and somehow has this humble, wholesome Canadian sound to it. It’s hard to explain how that is, but it’s definitely a compliment and I think when you listen, you will hear it too.

The band’s sound has been heard on radios from Vancouver to Berlin while having fans everywhere in between, which would explain their current tour around Europe.

The group from The Rockies released their fifth Studio Album, Rising Sun, in 2020 and it was in a bit of a different direction then their previous albums. This one had a little more “darkness” and more of a somberness to it due to some changes in their lives. After group members Tim Newton and Sage McBride had their first baby, just a month later Tim’s father passed away due to an illness. From the joy of a newborn to the heartache of losing your father, Shred Kelly puts all their emotions on display and gets you to feel what they feel, with only using your ears.

Be sure to check out all their socials as they have a ton of music out and I’m sure there will be something for you. They are packed with variety and just simple overall quality in sound and lyrics.

Once they finish in Europe, they’ll be in Revelstoke, BC on November 17 at the Revelstoke Performing Arts Centre.
