After years of dedication and playing, Jan Purcell and Pine Road have developed into the very best bluegrass/roots music outfit in the Gatineau Hills.  They are a shining example of our regional music scene and would truly do us proud wherever they travel.  Success is indeed finding them, for good reason:  they are fine people playing fine music; it is as simple as that.

   Good luck,

Wayne, Jan and I had a truly wonderful time on Friday night when Jan Purcell and Pine Road welcomed us into their pickin’ session.  Jan is a real trouper who does an excellent Canadian version of Rhonda Vincent’s “Bluegrass Girl”.  She punches it out with all the fire of the original and she’s heck of a fiddler too.  I caught their on stage act on Saturday and was thoroughly impressed.  They are a class act and don’t need to take a back seat to anybody.
