Dubbed the urban denizens of Canada’s country scene, $100 opens a window into what country music might have become had the industry not been overtaken by pop music production and trite subject matter. Named “Best Roots/Folk Act” in Toronto by Now Magazine, $100’s reach has grown steadily in a relatively short amount of time. I might mention that they have a strong Hamilton connection too. http://www.myspace.com/1hundreddollars
The timeless sound of the aptly named “The Deep Dark Woods” belongs to northern winters. Pulsing with human warmth, these original songs echo through the lonesome night. Ryan Boldt’s plainspoken lyrics offer a strong but gentle and understated poetry. Despite the dark themes, the heaviness never overwhelms the music’s playfulness.
