Broad Cove Boys

Acoustic Roots & Rock

Chris, Steve and Tim hail from Montague PEI, Halifax and Sydney Mines, Nova Scotia respectively. They cut their teeth in the vibrant music scenes in St. John's, Halifax, Toronto, and Alberta in their early years and have been privileged to play on the same stages as Gordie Sampson, Ashley MacIsaac, the Barra MacNeils, Bruce Gouthro, Trooper, and Jeff Healey.

The band is so named because they met after marrying three beauties from Broad Cove, Inverness County on Cape Breton Island. They have been playing around the Maritimes ever since and recorded two albums. Check their music out at: http://chrisandsteve.bandcamp.com/
