The Skivvies

About Me

The Skivvies are the real thing. This is a group with talent, musical sense, and a swinging, smiling band of rogues that give a high adrenaline show. This is a band that honestly loves alt-country and roots classics, and mixes them with a punk sensibility that remains tuneful. And perhaps most surprising of all, they have a guitar case full of heartfelt and catchy original tunes.This band loves performing, and they have something to say, and the talent to say it.Montreal singer-songwriter Stewart Burrows pens the tunes and fronts the band. Versatile instrumentalist and arranger Tim Walsh puts his expert hand to guitar and mandolin as Ben Griffin (on bass) lays down the bottom and drives the pulse of this classic and unconventional collective.If have an urge to feel the need to stomp your feet, thump a pint on your table, or sway to lyrical and heartfelt music, you do not want to miss this band.
