the LONESOME WEEKENDS

About me

Location	Regina, SK
Introduction	The Lonesome Weekends are to the 21st Century what The Byrds were to 1960s Cosmic America: roots music, pure, raw, sweet and soaring; a brunch of vintage AM radio gold, second-hand cowboy shirts, desert peyote, and your grandma’s very best Sunday morning pancakes. Formed in the summer of 2009, songwriters Marshall Burns (Rah Rah), Chris Sleightholm and Devon Floyd (Thee Hoolies, R.I.P) quickly went from sharing songs in the backyard to forming a full band. Enter Tyler Hammer and Chris Prpich (The Lazy MKs, The Nowhere Men, Living in the Boom Times), drums and bass respectively, along with Steve ‘The Hat’ Jeske (Sun Zoom Sparx, The Nowhere Men, Living in the Boom Times) on keyboards later in the year. Drinking from the same mountain stream that Merle Haggard, Buck Owens, Wilco and The Sadies drank from, the resulting sonic goodness sees one part soulful psychedelia and two parts rollicking groove added to three parts backwoods harmonies, six-string twang and song writing swagger. The Lonesome Weekends have two releases to their name, "Songs For Lonesome Weekends" (2011) and "Songs From A Barstool" (2012). They can be seen tearing up local stages near you.
