Brokenjoe - Old Plank Road

Brokenjoe has been playing at Grossman's Tavern in Toronto on Tuesday night's. The lighting is poor but the beer is tasty and there's never a cover.

Here is their rendition of the Ol' Timey mountain song "Old Plank Road"

Brokenjoe are: Alec Fraser - bass, Jerome Godboo - harmonica and Joe Toole - banjo and guitar. Everybody sings (and jokes around).

Brokenjoe are an acoustic trio drawing from mostly 1920..s folk music styles. Their original songs harken to an era when blues, country and celtic music were all intertwined and the banjo was paving the path for the blues guitar of today. Songs of death, murder, hangings, wonder and love, done to fast waltzes, slow waltzes and blistering bluegrass tempos are what you..ll hear on their debut cd Long Walk to Nowhere. These songs are either original or traditional tunes pumped up their own way.
