Alan Jeffries is no stranger to the Lunenburg Folk Harbour Festival, having accompanied David Myles over the years; Alan also headlined his own band in 2014. This year Alan returns with his Bluegrass Band. A superb musician, Alan was named the Atlantic Canada Bluegrass and Oldtime Music Association’s Bluegrass Player of the Year in 2005. Since then, he has ventured into different styles of music and has played with several artists, but returned to his bluegrass roots with his 2013 debut album, Coffee ‘til Midnight. A recording with a timeless sound for an ageless crowd, it won the 2014 ECMA for Roots / Traditional Solo Recording of the Year. Joining Alan at Folk Harbour this year are some of the finest bluegrass musicians that Canada has to offer: Kyle Cunjak, Andrew Sneddon, and Ryan Dillman. Be prepared for fast-picking solos, heartbreaking harmonies, and a level of musicianship you won’t soon forget.
