The River Junction Band

The River Junction Band – Limited Edition EP (self released) :: One of the things that I love best about attending Canadian Music Week each year is all the stray records that struggling musicians leave lying around for someone like me to pick up—which I do. This five track slice of hot toe-tappin’ country honk one starts off a mite too slow for my liking but then the band wisely floors it to exceed the speed limit, which is where they always oughtta cruise ’cause that’s where they do their best gitbox pickin’ and violin pluckin’. Bonus points for having a dynamite he ’n’ she dual duet combo and inspirational lyrics like: “Born country, it ain’t hard to tell: my Mama was a Christian and my Papa was Hell.”

This column has been painfully neglectful of country over the years. It's time to apologize and show we mean it by featuring The River Junction Band.
The Lucan, ON group plays rock-tinged new country that focuses on country living and having fun. The band has spent the last few years entertaining packed crowds at summer festivals and fairs across the continent. They picked up the award for Best Country Act at the 2010 Toronto Independent Music Awards and played a packed showcase during the 2011 edition of Canadian Music Fest. They've also played bigger stages, opening for top acts including Toby Keith, Travis Tritt, George Canyon, and others.
New country isn't always the kind of genre that lends itself to discovering new talent before it's all over the radio. Do yourself a favour and look into The River Junction Band before they're all over the place so you can say you knew them before they were famous, and try to catch them at a festival this summer while you're at it.

The River Junction Band always rocks The Park. The RJB delivers a truly professional and extremely high-energy performance. RJB lives up to their reputation by delivering an impeccable performance with a broad spectrum of great country music, with a smattering of impressive originals like “Overdrive” and “Born Country”. Wildly personable between sets, their energy is truly contagious and proves to get even the shyest wallflower up on their feet and dancing. RJB has made lifelong fans and friends of all of us. They have been playing at Prospect Hill for 5 years now and have helped to make our Labour Day weekend The BEST end of Summer party!

TNR Productions Inc. has been producing live events and concerts in the Ontario market place for the last 18 years. We have worked with world class touring acts right down to bar bands. In August we presented Music In The Fields a one day country music festival. www.musicinthefields.ca

We booked The River Junction band on this show as support and were very much impressed. This act is organized, professional and talented. My experience has been that you often do not get all three with one act.

If you are looking for support or a headliner on a mid-size festival or club date I would strongly recommend using The River Junction Band. These folks are nice people and true show business professionals.

The buzz was in the air as the River Junction Band bus pulled in on the Friday night of Lucknow's Music in the Fields. The day of the show RJB captured the attention of the crowd the minute they stepped on stage. A high energy set got our first annual Music in the Fields off to a great start and set the level for all the acts to follow. If you want a successful event, make sure RJB is a part of it. Thanks Tammy, Dave, Derek, Paul and Dave for being a part or our first annual Music in the Fields. - Steve

Hi Tammy,

I wanted to thank you and the River Junction Band personally for attending the Curtis Cadman Memorial Walk on Sunday. I heard you were a hit (I knew you would be!) and really created a festive atmosphere at the event. Thank you for your help in making the event a success! I’m so sorry I missed it!!!

Can you please pass along my thanks to the members of the band? Would appreciate that!

Have a great summer!
