Within two years of releasing their Juno nominated debut album, House of Ill Fame, The Trews were getting calls to share the stage with some of the greatest bands in rock and roll history. From the Rolling Stones to Led Zeppelin’s front man Robert Plant, this four-piece from Antigonish, Nova Scotia acquired some famous fans. No stranger to radio, fist pumping anthems like “I’m not Ready to Go” and “Tired of Waiting” quickly rose on the charts. Off the record, The Trews became known for their vivacious live performances and their rock mash-ups combining their hit singles with classics like Bob Marley’s “Stir-it Up”, or Tom Petty’s “You Don’t Know How it Feels”.

The Trews are on the road again and will be one of over 900 bands showcased during Canadian Music Week taking place in Toronto March 21-25th. Others on the bill include Treble Charger, I Mother Earth, and Temper Trap, just to name a few. www.thetrewsmusic.com
