LOGISTICS - TANGLEFOOT CONCERTS

Entertainment is a major component of any event. The international profile of Tanglefoot, one of Canada’s leading musical groups, contributed greatly to the success of the Battle of Georgian Bay in 1998.

High energy, big vocals and fine song writing are trademarks of this dynamic five-piece band from Peterborough, Ontario. From inauspicious beginnings as friends who enjoyed a common interest in traditional music, Tanglefoot has grown to become one of Canada's outstanding folk groups.

Utilizing Celtic, Maritime and French-Canadian influences, Tanglefoot has created an extensive repertoire of finely crafted original material, delivered with a big, full-throated accompaniment and superb vocal harmonies. Enthusiastic and thoroughly engaging on stage, they are consistent showstoppers at festivals, theatres and concert halls wherever they perform.

With a truly powerful sound and fresh, poignant song writing, Tanglefoot is an irrepressibly contagious and uniquely entertaining band, one you won't soon forget.
