Call it Cosmic Country, Dystopian Americana, or something else altogether. Bo Legged’s sound can be hard to place, and that’s the way they like it.
Powerhouse vocals, soaring choruses, and the mournful wail of the sad machine stay grounded on a foundation of old-school country with a dash of psychedelia and a pinch of punk rock.
From festival stages like Harvest Moon and Festival du Voyageur to many Winnipeg club gigs, Bo Legged has been around the Manitoba block, and they’re just getting started.
Bo Legged’s latest single Come High Water, recorded and mixed by Jon Plett is a song about anticipating monumental change — like everything in your life is coming to a head, and your reality is about to explode and overflow, washing away the stagnant existence you’ve become complacent with and comforted by.
In due time, the rivers will rise, breach their banks and swallow up our lives. Come high water, come what may, we’ll stop and wonder how we lost our ways.
