The Janzen Boys live in Key West
Tickets
On AXS
The Janzen Boys are a father-and-son led folk-country trio from Winnipeg, Canada, known for
their close three-part harmonies, heartfelt songs, and touching live shows. Formed in 2012, their
journey began as a busking act at The Forks market before quickly growing into a full-fledged
family band. Often described as a male counterpart to The Wailin' Jennys, their sound is
frequently compared to artists like Simon & Garfunkel, Neil Young, and the Barenaked Ladies.
Committed to sharing their music and stories, The Janzen Boys have decided to flee the harsh
Winnipeg winter, bringing their harmony-driven folk-country sound to Florida for the very first
time. They'll be playing two 45-minute sets with a short break in between. You can expect
catchy originals, covers of bands like CSN, Anne Murray, and James Taylor, and plenty of
stories and laughter throughout the night. Whether you come with friends, family, or just
yourself, they’ll make sure you feel right at home. Tickets are limited, so grab yours early and come sing along.
Since 2024, The Janzen Boys have toured relentlessly throughout Canada, steadily building a
loyal following through captivating live performances and a grassroots approach to connecting
with listeners online. Known for heartfelt originals and familiar covers, they’ve built a reputation
for delivering both warmth and energy on stage.
Funding from FACTOR Canada and Manitoba Film & Music is now fuelling their upcoming
project, The Great Unknown, set for release in late 2026. Produced by Murray Pulver (Crash
Test Dummies, Doc Walker) and Trey Mills (Forest Blakk), it promises a vibrant mix of originals,
traditional songs, and country-driven rockers. As they prepare to unveil The Great Unknown,
The Janzen Boys are poised to bring their earnest, harmony-rich sound to new heights, proving
that in a crowded musical landscape, their authenticity and craft stand tall among the weeds.
