Three distinguished gentlemen.
One highly suspect operation.

SAWBONES was cobbled together in 2018 from various pieces of the Alberta rockabilly and blues-rock scenes, plus a chunk broken off from steampunk swing stalwarts Punch Drunk Cabaret.

Later, they added veteran muscle from Greyhound Tragedy and Dirty Deeds DDC. Members have opened for Kim Mitchell, Trooper, Harlequin, The Stampeders, July Talk, The Sheepdogs and countless others.
