Shady Characters

About Me

Shady Characters is a Victoria-based band that likes to play bluegrass, country, old favourites and new tunes -plus some original compositions. The band influences amongst others are Bill Monroe, Jerry Garcia, and Norman Blake.
The Characters have been well received where ever they have played. They blend intricate picking and fiddling with three part harmonies, the result is a sound easy to the ears and great for tapping your feet.
We laugh a lot during practise!
