Strange Potatoes

Formed in 2000, John Eaton, Derek McLean and John Miller have been using music and humour to create good times and great parties throughout the region and across the province. With an emphasis on acoustic instruments and vocal harmonies they appear as a celtic folk band but once they launch into their massive repertoire all bets are off as to what kind of band they are. Feeding off the audience for musical direction, Strange Potatoes rarely prepare a set list but rather unleash an improvised attack on the songs that matter most at the time. The results are often astonishing and sometimes hysterical, but always entertaining. Get ready to tap your toes, clap your hands, singalong and bust a gut as these three perform some of the most memorable songs in popular music as well as some of those one hit wonders we might have wished were long forgotten. As they take the stage, expect infectious energy that captivates audiences, drawing everyone into the fun. Whether you are a long-time fan or a newcomer, every show promises an unforgettable experience filled with laughter and camaraderie.
