Folk, country and bluegrass are on the agenda as The Gruff bring their unique sound to Music on Sunday, Nov. 8 at The Old School House arts centre.

The essence of The Gruff was hatched in the nest of Victoria’s busking scene some five years ago. From those days of traditional Irish pub tunes, the young band evolved, creating a comfortable rapport with each other and their well-established fan base.

As they matured creatively and instrumentally, they incorporated original songs and a country flavour into their repertoire.

Received with enthusiasm, they nurtured this original sound and transformed themselves into the band today known as The Gruff.

The Gruff released their third album in 2006. They were joined by such high-profile Canadian guest musicians as Steve Dawson (Zubot and Dawson), Tania Elizabeth (The Duhks) and Old Man Luedecke.

The concert is from 2:30 to 4:30 p.m. with $15 tickets available at TOSH, 250-752-6133.
