Uncle Sinner

About Me

Uncle Sinner plays music that sweats, scratches and stomps. Most of his songs are created using the skeletons of traditional American music, but the words are often re-written and the bones rearranged. Uncle Sinner accompanies his arrangements with banjo, slide guitar and various other guitars. At the centre of the music, however, is a voice that drives the music forward and expresses the complex emotions that lie beneath the songs. Uncle Sinner's partner in psychic vandalism is Fuller Vengeance. Mr. Vengeance provides the stomp and the depth to the music by accompanying Uncle Sinner on harmony vocals, mandolin, guitar, bass, and whatever else he deems necessary for the greater good. All of Uncle Sinner's recent music has been recorded and mixed by Fuller Vengeance at Mr. Vengeance's home studio in Winnipeg.
