New Country Rehab cuts through the clutter of watered-down musical imitations with a modern, high-voltage, alt-country sound. Invited by both the Americana Music Association and International Bluegrass Music Association to showcase in 2014, New Country Rehab proves that combining sharp innovation and a deep respect and knowledge of timeless musical themes and motifs pays off.

Spearheaded by lead singer and fiddle player, John Showman, who is joined by Roman Tome on drums and backing vocals, the Toronto based collective is "poised to be the next big thing in Canadian music," (Tom Power, CBC Radio). Growing audiences in Canada, the U.S. and Europe can't help but respond to New Country Rehab's infectious love and enthusiasm for the music they are playing. The band make it, "super accessible, not only to fans of roots/folk/country, but even to the broader, less country inclined audience," (Josef Jensen, Indie Artist Podcast).

Their sophomore album Ghost of Your Charms marks a step forward in songwriting, John Showman's vocals sound clearer and more confident, and there's a focus on storytelling, harmonies and arrangements (which may surprise, given the band's reputation for wild abandon at shows)," (Sarah Greene, NOW). Recorded in Toronto and guided by producer Chris Stringer (Timber Timbre, Ohbijjou), their latest work shows off their unconventional instrumentation in the vein of classic spiritual number and folk ballads with a lot of rock in between.
