“Keeping it
simple &
telling a story”
is The Kent
Boys motto.
True to their
word,
The Kent Boys
keep it simple
with their
unique
instruments
such as the
washtub bass,
suitcase
kick-drum,
and washtub
snare. Simple...
yes…
however, The
Kent Boys and
their instruments
prove that
great music
is more than
fancy
equipment.
Three part
harmonies combined
with foot stompin’
rhythms &
honest lyrics
have audiences
dancing from
beginning to
end.
Punk-grass
is what comes
to mind when
trying
to figure out
just what genre
The Kent Boys
fall under.
The Kent Boys
draw inspiration
from everything
such as bluegrass
to folk
to country
& punk.
It’s their
eclectic
vibe, in addition
to their incredible
talent
that has grabbed
the attention
of music professionals
and audiences
alike.
The Kent Boys
have recently
joined the
likes
of the Agriculture
Club, Scott
Nolan, Hot
Live Guys,
American Flamewhip,
The Fabulous
Kildonans &
the Rowdymen

based out of
Winnipeg, Manitoba,
Canada. Their
2006 album
“A Horse No
Man
Could Ride”
received airplay
on college
radio
across Canada
including several
top 30 spots.
The Kent Boys
can be seen
everywhere
from
town halls,
festivals,
clubs as well
as campus,
barn &
kitchen parties.
Most notably
playing for

Hank. Their
ability
to play in
country venues
to devout country
fans &
also play in
punk venues
to devout
punk fans shows
their wide-ranging
talent
and cross-over
possibilities.
Poor Pelly,

Boys. These
