Bloody good: Murder Murder gets a rootsy shout-out

U.S.-based roots website KithFolk.com has fallen in love with Sudbury bloodgrass band Murder Murder.

The band was recently plying their trade at the Folk Music Ontario conference in Toronto, where they ran into a writer from KithFolk. After sampling the band’s store of moonshine, he took in a performance or two, and listed them at the very top of a Halloween-themed scary Canadian roots songs list.

It seems Murder Murder’s tune “Bridge County, ’41” struck a chord.
