About Me

The Jake Brakes are Canada's ambassadors for truckdrivin' music. Consistently delivering impressively true-to-their-roots versions of songs made famous by the likes of Dave Dudley, Merle Haggard, Junior Brown, Buck Owens, Del Reeves, Johnny Cash, and many, many more.
The Jake Brakes are as much serious music historians as they are serious musicians. Their focus on first-rate interpretation and their relentless search for obscure musical gems represents a commitment to their craft that is all too rare in today's one-hit-wonder-world. Appropriately, all that seriousness about music amounts to a whole lot of fun for the many crowds they've delighted over the last few years. There are many more years to come for this enormously talented collection of misfit Mennonite Manitoba country boys. In the words of the great Red Simpson,"Till they're six feet under, they'll be rollin' thunder." They're in it for the long haul.......
