About New Country Rehab

New Country Rehab
Hometown: Toronto, ON, CA
Genres: Folk / Americana / Alternative
Label: Dollartone Records
Members: John Showman, James Robertson, Roman Tome, Ben Whiteley

Take Canada’s hottest country fiddle player, a guitarist that is a cross between Tom Morello and Kevin Breitt, a percussionist that plays saw blades and cookie sheets, and the most versitile double bass player in Canada and you get NEW COUNTRY REHAB. With John Showman, James Robertson, Roman Tome, and Ben Whiteley, the band’s unique OUTLAW INDIE COUNTRY sound channels Hank Williams Sr. as much as Arcade Fire to create exciting new music. Their self-titled debut album is slated for release on January 11, 2011. NEW COUNTRY REHAB is ready to take Canada by storm. Recorded by roots and indie rock producer Chris Stringer (Obijou and Timber Timbre), the self titled album highlights the group’s original compositions and deep musical palette.
