Boondock
With Boondock you will get upbeat country rock and the dance floor will be full this weekend.
Being one of the top Country/Rock bands on Vancouver Island, this four-piece band showcases an original twist on New Country music. Frontwoman Amanda Usher’s original vocals, and songwriting, have created quite a buzz wherever they perform.
The band started in 2009 when Amanda’s love for Country music took over. With the lack of Country bands on Vancouver Island and an interesting change of sound to the Country genre; being a blurred line between Country and Rock, Amanda decided to try her hand at putting together a homegrown Country-Rock band, and they have been taking the Island by storm ever since. “Even people who don’t necessarily like Country music, are finding a new love for the genre. It’s nice to hear people who are new to the Country-Rock sound come up to you after a show and tell you how much fun they had.” Says Amanda.
Amanda was soon joined by the incredibly talented Randy Gabel, an amazing guitar player, whose 80’s Rock influence enhanced the band’s original music to be more upbeat and fun. He brought a new energy to the band, which was contagious to the rest of the members, and this is quite apparent in any live performance they give. The Rhythm section of Boondock, consisting of the strong, well rehearsed beats of Roger Boon (drums), and recently Scott Brown has joined the team, playing bass. Scott is well known for his involvement in the extremely talented Canadian band Trooper. Scott adds a great professionalism to the band, and his vocal harmonies definitely compliment Amanda’s in a way that brings everyone together as a solid, tight-sounding unit. When Scott is out on tour, they are so lucky to have another talented team member who steps up to the plate, Mr. Ricky Renouf on bass guitar.
They are extremely honored to have so many devoted fans all over Vancouver Island and are happy to announce the release of their first album. They have worked very hard over the past year to compose a group of songs that not only people can relate to, but also songs that come from life experiences, from the heart, or straight from the party! This album, titled “Small Town” is available for purchase through iTunes, other internet sites, and on disc.
“what it comes down to for us, ‘ remarks Amanda, ‘is that we want to have fun while doing what we love, we want our fans to have a memorable experience, and we want to put out a sound that is original to the average ear, that people are going to love.” Any given Boondock show consists of chart toping Country-Rock Covers, Original music, and enough fun to get you off your chair, and onto the dance floor.
