In an era of digitally produced radio pop, acoustic music is quickly becoming a voice for the counter-culture.

Playing traditional bluegrass instruments, The Magnificent Sevens draw from a variety of musical backgrounds to create a relevant sound for the musically informed. The five piece band maintains a 100% acoustic live show while channeling influences that range from Bill Monroe to Kurt Cobain.

Based in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada (Slurpee capital of the world/Murder Capital of Canada), this hard working, acoustic five-piece has traveled many roads—over 100,000 km in three years throughout Canada and the US—since its debut release Dirty Roads (2008). The band is currently gearing up to promote their much anticipated follow up album All Kinds of Mean, to be released across North America in
the spring of 2012.
