PowderMunky formed in December 2009 when the singer for Frayed Knot decided to call it quits. Let's go back a little further to when their drummer decided to give up his dreams of becoming a rock star.
As everyone knows, Frayed Knot (Rick Smith, Scott Boutilier, Ian Fancy & Pete Belliveau) had been around for years. An institution if you will. But around 2005 drummer Pete Belliveau, feeling draw of his day job, just wasn't into playing in a coverband anymore. Frayed Knot had lost an essential member but they were determined to continue. The band needed someone new, someone fatter, enter GR Matheson. After a few years of playing the regular repertoire of tunes, singer Rick Smith decided he too just wasn't into it anymore and wanted to spend more time with his family. During the bands last performance with Rick, Pete decided to get up on stage for a bit of a reunion. In a drunken stupor GR thought maybe he'd like to sing a couple of tunes. I think, but am not completely sure, that is where PowderMunky was born. After giving GR the decision to play drums or sing the band decided they would try to get a drummer or a singer and whatever came first. Knowing Pete was a good guy and even better drummer it only seemed appropriate to offer him the position. He accepted and the rest as they say is history, or was that rehearsal??
PowderMunky look forward to meeting new folks and hanging with old friends as they embark on a journey to entertain and have a few beers with all of you. Hope to see you soon

Biography
“Seven children seemed like a lot, but it never, ever seemed like too many” – Company Road
Brothers & Sisters will drive each other to insanity and beyond, but in the same
breath, they will die for each other. It is truly an infinite anomalous bond unlike
any other and when you inject a shared love of music into that bond-
The four MacDonald siblings that make up the group Company Road have that bond and it is clearly obvious when they perform, interact and harmonize...and it will please you....even more so if you consider the fact that they may have recently tried to strangle each other back stage! : ) Kelly Jean, Mitch, Gordie & Brennan absolutely love singing and performing together and there is certainly something uniquely magical about watching them.
They were raised in Port Hood on beautiful Cape Breton Island in Nova Scotia, Canada. A place deeply rooted in Scottish, Gaelic heritage, where stepdancing and kitchen parties are like snacks and although traditional Cape Breton fiddle music and dance is undeniably in their blood, Country music was a staple in their home growing up. George Jones, Vern Gosdin, Waylon & Willie, Merle, Tammy, Dolly, Loretta, Alan Jackson, Bobby Bare, John Prine....these are the osmosis voices they know so well. Voices that drifted from the record player and AM radio, down the hall, past the only bathroom and into the ears of Cecil & Mary Janet’s children...and it shows that they still have a genuine sense of love for that music and all descendant Country to Americana music that has followed.
Brothers Brennan (Kilt; Gin & Juice; Crossfire) and Mitch (2nd place Canadian Idol
Season 6) are no strangers to the stage having performed all over the nation and
beyond and shared stages with the likes of Bryan Adams, Natalie MacMaster, Mariah
Carey, Great Big Sea, Chantal Kreviazuk, Jason McCoy, Tom Jackson, Matt Andersen,
just to name a few. Gordie & Kelly Jean however have only recently been convinced
to come out of the kitchen and bring their talents to the stage....and none will
disappoint. All bringing their own individual style and voice to their music, from
Kelly Jean’s amazing control and power, to Gordie’s incredible sense of harmony,
Mitch’s soft indie-
