BC’s Best Band this year… the Knots!

The Knots lead singer and lead guitarist Jeff and Johnny came on the August 23 show and gave their first on air radio interview with Y57! I was impressed to hear about the band’s accomplishments considering the age of the members. They have played shows at major Vancouver events, won a song writing contest AND were named BC’s Best Band this year. I don’t know when these guys have time to enjoy high school but it’s clear they are committed and talented musicians. If you want to hear The Knots perform live on Sunday, Aug. 29 check out their website www.theknots.ca for show info or spend a day at Granville Island where I’m sure you’ll run into Jeff entertaining the tourists.
