Foley Mountain Playboys in Westport!

This Sunday ( June 1st) The Foley Mountain Playboys will be heading to The Cove in Westport, Ontario to perform at the Sunday Roots Matinee, from 1-4 PM. We hope you'll take the drive out to Westport and join us for what is sure to be a foot-stompin', rip-roarin' afternoon of good 'ol country music. Most of this music is new and original, but everywhere we play folks remark on the timeless sound of the music, and how the songs could've been written by Willie, Merle, or Hank. And to that, we say thank you very much! That is what we are going for.


Come see and hear for yourself...and don't forget your dancing shoes (or cowboy boots)!

Day Of The Pig / Night Of The Toucan

The numbers have yet to come in, but by the turnout on Saturday, it looks one of the best years yet for Homegrown Live. Great to see! Good job Kingston!

I dare say that the Foley Mountain Playboys made our share of new fans on Saturday night at the Royal Tavern. We pumped out  a 2 hour set and the crowd was begging for more. Yeehaw! It was a great way to celebrate one year together as a band.

And the cool gigs keep on coming for the FMP. In fact, on Saturday May 17th, you have not one, but two great opportunities to check out the band. In the afternoon, we are playing at Seed-To-Sausage for their Day Of The Pig celebration with Kyra & Tully and The Huaraches.

Beer. Sausage. Music. Sun. Fun!!

Then, in the evening the Foley Mountain Playboys are heading back to Kingston to lay down our country music jams at the Toucan. Sharing the bill with us is our good friend from Winnipeg, JD Edwards, who is touring with another talented singer-songwriter, Faye Blais.

That's a full day of music right there Folks! Hope to see you out !

Homegrown Live 2014 - HomeGrown Hootenanny at The Royal Tavern

Tom Savage will be leading his Foley Mountain Playboys into The Royal Tavern to host the HomeGrown Hootenanny for the second consecutive year. Last year's Homegrown Live was also the first official gig of The Foley Mountain Playboys, so come on out and give us a high five (album is dragging its feet, but it's coming!) For those of you who don't know, Homegrown Live is a fundraiser for Joe's M.I.L.L (music instrument lending library), which is a great organization that helps spread the joy of learning  and playing a musical instrument around the fine city of Kingston.

There's music all over town, so check out the Homegrown Live site for more details. Below is the schedule for the Royal.

Week #25 - "Alcohol" - A song about being on tour and drinking too much. Not that I've ever experienced that myself...







alcohol alcohol
got me so blind i can't see
alcohol alcohol
gonna be the death of me

three band bill on a tuesday night
no money in the till
we ain't puttin' up a fight
keep feeding us whiskey
feeding us beer
we'll get on stage when we're slated to appear
if the room starts spinnin'
we'll hold on tight
til the last man is standing at the end of the night


Another shot might
get you through the night
But your dreams are about as real
as your future is bright
we're gonna keep it real
til the sun puts us down
gonna make you feel something
might even put you on the ground



that rooster's crowin
it's the break of dawn
time to shake it off
time to get a move on
another 10 stops
before tour's end
if we don't die tryin
we'll be seeing you again
