Hailing from the Rocky Mountains of western Canada, The McMillan's Camp Boys Levon Lindequist and Joshua Kaiser now call Nova Scotia home. Much like many musicians their age, growing up in the early days of Youtube meant having unlimited access to a large archive of music history. This led them to their many early influences, including old folk and blues players like Lightnin’ Hopkins and Big Bill Broonzy. Over the years, their musical taste has shifted to a more traditional country and bluegrass sound, heavily influenced by groups like The Stanley Brothers and The Carter Family, as well as old-time banjo pickers like Roscoe Holcomb and Frank Proffitt.
The McMillan's Camp Boys’ wide repertoire of traditional bluegrass and old-time music features banjo, guitar, mandolin, and fiddle accompanied by the duo's timeless vocal harmonies. Their new EP "So Long To The Kicking Horse Canyon and Other Folk Songs" is out on Dartmouth's Big Turnip Records in August. Captivating audiences around the Maritimes and beyond, the Boys deliver timeless melodies to a modern audience and their long-standing friendship can be heard in every note.
