With a foundation in Canadian roots rock and a penchant for crafting noisy guitar jams, Cuff the Duke's unique blend of genres has consistently escaped the confines of simple classification, earning them an honoured place under the umbrella of "alternative."
Six albums, a pair of JUNO nods, countless miles clocked on the road, including sharing stages with iconic acts like Blue Rodeo, Hayden Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds and Calexico. Then, poof! A ten-year vanishing act, playing only a handful of shows in that time. But like all great tales, ours has a twist: Cuff the Duke has reemerged from the shadows.
Poised to once again cross musical borders as effortlessly as a game of hopscotch, their comeback is more than a mere addition to their discography—it's a homecoming celebration of their enduring legacy and the love of getting together with old friends and playing music.
