About Me

The Barmitzvah Brothers are a four piece band from Guelph, Ontario, Canada. Playing bars, playing basements, playing just about any creative space thats welcome in 2006 in support of the new record.Since their formation in April of 2000, they have released four albums, toured Europe, appeared on at least five television shows, had their pictures taken with airplanes, and driven their van through treacherous weather. They have played countless Canadian shows, appearing with bands such as The Arcade Fire, the Rheostatics, All Purpose Voltage Heroes, Great Lake Swimmers and Final Fantasy. The current members are Geordie Gordon, Johnny Merritt, Jenny Mitchell, & Tristan O'Malley. Combining fiddle, banjo, trumpet, and omnichord, with wurlitzer, keyboard, electric guitar and bass, the brothers create a unique musical sound that blends folk, country, pop, rock, and maybe even klezmer.February 28th, 2006 was the official release of the Barmitzvah Brothers new (and long awaited) follow-up to Mr. Bones walk-in closet, entitled "The Century of Invention," released on Permafrost Records (home of Jon-Rae and the River) and produced by the Barmitzvah Brothers and Andy Magoffin at the House of Miracles (Constantines, Royal City, Hidden Cameras). The Barmitzvah Brothers cant really be described as any genre, so your guess is as good as ours.
