Five Minutes With: Calgary Rock & Roll Band Confusionaires

We’re Confusionaires, and we’re a trio from Edmonton that started out as a rockabilly band but has managed to punch our way out of that box over the course of 3 full-length albums and 2 EPs. We’ve evolved into a twangy rock & roll band with a heavy roots/country influence… but we hit it pretty hard. We are prolific song crafters and are right at home in the studio, but we’ve also played extensively in Alberta, and are focused on spreading out into BC and Saskatchewan and beyond.
