Atikokan Entertainment Series – Pretty Archie

Pretty Archie is a Country/Folk/Bluegrass band from Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. Long-time friends Brian Cathcart, Matt McNeil, Colin Gillis, and Redmond MacDougall, make up this quartet. Always jamming together growing up, they decided in May 2012 to form a band. The band chose the name Pretty Archie after a local (Cape Breton) character known for playing with 2 strings outside shopping malls in any weather and not always (or ever) in key. Their honest, heartfelt writing connects listeners with a saltwater perspective of modern living. Their fun loving and at times heartbreaking music finds common grounds in the blurred genres of Country, Folk, Bluegrass, and Blues. It will be a fun filled evening for all!
