The Strumbellas Set To Visit Mississauga For Canada Day Celebration
Published May 13, 2016 at 2:30 am
Lovers of alternative pop music have even more reason to celebrate this July.
Popular Canadian music group “The Strumbellas” is set to perform on July 1 at Celebration Square’s Canada Day celebration.
While their genre is mainly defined as alternative pop, the Toronto-based group has been called everything from folk-pop to alternative country to indie rock.
Regardless of what you may call them, the six-member Strumbellas have clearly found great success, with their 2015 single “Spirits” climbing the charts and becoming the #1 alternative song in North America.
The Strumbellas also won a Juno award in 2014 for their album “We Still Move on Dance Floors.” Their third and most recent studio album “Hope” was released just last month and has enjoyed positive reception from fans.
In addition to a performance by the Strumbellas, Canada’s 149th birthday celebration will also feature Canadian recording artist Ria Mae and Mississauga own John River, as well as a bunch of other fun events.
