Juno and nine-time Canadian Country Music Association (CCMA) award-winning band The Washboard Union will perform in Barrie later this month as part of their 2024 Canadian fall tour.

The Grab the Wheel and Go Canadian tour includes a half-dozen stops in Ontario.

The band will be joined by The Red Hill Valleys on all Ontario dates.

“The Grab the Wheel and Go tour will take us across this beautiful country to cities and towns both big and small, places we have never been before and places we can’t wait to go back to,” says The Washboard Union's Chris Duncombe. “Our Washboard Union fans are family and have always made us feel like we are coming home no matter where we go. Each place is different with its very own story and people. We can’t wait for our fans to experience this brand-new show and perform songs from our new album, Westerly.”

The tour follows the release of the band’s 10-song album, Westerly, in July. The collection of songs features hit singles I Run On Country, Gather Round and Band On Her T-Shirt, which recently reached the No. 1 most added spot at Canadian Country radio.

The Washboard Union is comprised of step-brothers Aaron Grain, Chris Duncombe and their best friend, David Roberts, have carved their place as one of Canada’s top country bands.

Some of their many successes include reaching over 85 million career streams, 380,000 radio spins, one platinum and four gold-certified singles and 35-plus total award wins.

They are three-time consecutive CCMA Group of the Year winners, and remain the only country group to ever win a Juno Award for Breakthrough Group of the Year. Most recently, The Washboard Union was nominated for two 2024 CCMA Awards for Group of the Year and Special of the Year for A Washboard Union Christmas.
