Saw you guys at the canmore folk fest, you were flat out amazing! Cant wait to hear more of you!

I dont think anyone could understand how obsessed I am with this song ....

And it was free? Geez, you guys must be cool.

Love this song, I wish I could find GfG on iTunes in the USA!

First time I heard this and the hairs on the back of my neck stood up and then the music took hold of me.... See you at the Electric Owl !!  ps.I feel so special being the first comment on this song! 

It really is one you can hear again and again -- worth checking out the other tracks from the band!

What an amazing sound; I've listened to it over and over.

Good For Grapes formed in September of 2010, after a group of friends took a trip to Victoria, BC for some modest busking.  Since the moment they stepped onto the ferry, they were an attraction.  Drawing unexpected crowds, naturally this young and aspiring band took form; an original and talented five piece group, with an array of harmonizing voices and instruments.  Hailing from Vancouver, British Columbia, this folk / alternative act has been gaining momentum ever since they stepped into the music scene. Their live stage performance in this time has evolved into an incredibly active, folk stomping, and inviting energy; always resulting in an extremely enthusiastic and involved audience. Beginning by supporting charities and foundations, their unique folk sound has been accepted into a large variety of venues. Through this, they have gained a loyal fan base which grows at every turn. 

In less than a year, the band has recorded a 6 song EP which has been upheld by several reviews:  
“From the first track, it becomes clear that this band has both unique talent and creativity among all five band members, combined with an expanding range of influences from Mumford & Sons to Bon Iver.”
“Good for Grapes makes each track individual and intriguing, hooking listeners as each song offers something new. Without knowing it, a handful of looped listens will go by with you humming along as if you’d known them for years.” – Amy Van Veen (UFV’s Sound Bites from “Cascades”)

Entering their very first Battle of the Bands (Rogers urMusic Battle of the Bands), they surprised the community by winning the Vancouver vote.  As if this wasn’t enough, venturing further into the competition found them winning the National vote by a landslide, making them the unmistaken National winners.  Soon after, they entered Supernova’s “Band on the Run to the UK” competition.  After drawing huge and unexpected crowds to the multiple shows, they quickly won the qualifying round, the city finals, and advanced on to winning the National Vote AGAIN.  Ever since, the young band (Only weeks out of high school) has been playing an array of shows, appeared on Shaw television, and aim to capture the attention of the Canadian music industry.  Currently, they are gearing up to travel across Canada to Toronto.  Here they are meeting several management agencies and record companies, as well as recording at the famous Coalition Studios.  Eager to release top-quality recordings and show the world their unique and widely appealing sound, Good For Grapes is rising up fast.
