THE MALPASS BROTHERS

The Malpass Brothers are a very young couple of gentlemen who are talented singers mixed with the right amount of humour, dressed the way all the familiar old timers used to dress and put on a real good show with a mixture of all of their God given talents.

Born and raised on a farm in North Carolina, at a young age they started playing for local jamborees and shows with classic country and a hint of Bluegrass and unique harmonies. The late Merle Haggard was soon to recognize these talents and chose them to travel with him to open all his shows and traveled all over the country, soon to be a nationally known act. As we all know, Merle passed and the Malpass Boys had a decision to make. Soon they embarked on their own tours. I was fortunate enough to be invited to watch a live taping of their new show on RFD-TV filmed out of Texas. Seeing their show, meeting these boys and shaking their hand and the rest was history.

They are the newest members of the Grand Ole Opry and have already been nominated for some awards as we will no doubt hear '...and the award goes to The Malpass Brothers!' this fall on the awards program. Soon we'll be answering George Jones' question, 'Who's Gonna Fill Their Shoes'. I think we know the answer and these beloved brothers may just be the resurrection of Classic Country Music!

Once again they loved Canada, loved our venue and most of all loved all who showed up to see them and really to be happy to be coming back.
