The Janzen Boys are a father-and-sons folk/roots trio from Winnipeg, Canada, known for their tight three-part harmonies, heartfelt songs, and touching live shows. Formed in 2012, their journey began as a busking act at The Forks market before quickly growing into a full-fledged family band. Often described as a male counterpart to The Wailin' Jennys, their sound is frequently compared to artists like Simon & Garfunkel, Neil Young, and the Barenaked Ladies.

Since 2024, The Janzen Boys have toured relentlessly throughout Canada and the U.S., steadily building a loyal following through captivating live performances and a grassroots approach to connecting with listeners online. Known for heartfelt originals and familiar covers, they’ve built a reputation for delivering both warmth and energy on stage.

Funding from FACTOR Canada and Manitoba Film & Music is now fuelling their upcoming project, The Great Unknown. Produced by Murray Pulver (Crash Test Dummies, Doc Walker) and Trey Mills (Forest Blakk), it promises a vibrant mix of originals, traditional songs, and country-driven rockers. As they prepare to unveil The Great Unknown, The Janzen Boys are poised to bring their earnest, harmony-rich sound to new heights, proving that in a crowded musical landscape, their authenticity and craft stand tall among the weeds.

What people have to say:

“For starters, they are the Wailin’ Jennys of male harmony trios... If you think dudes can’t move you with the beauty of their delicately intermingling voices, you need to hear the Janzen Boys sing ‘One for the Road.’” - Heather Kitching, Roots Music Canada

"With harmonies that are out of this world, The Janzen Boys will have you laughing, crying, and singing along as they perform classic country songs that we all know and love, and great catchy originals that will be delightfully stuck in your head for days.” - St. John’s Heritage Church & Arts Centre

“Whether you are in need of soul soothing harmony or the upbeat strum energy of Americana instruments like mandolin, bass, and guitar, these boys will deliver… their combination of honesty and integrity in the way they shape a note within unique songwriting will stand out among the weeds.” - Canada Music Spotlight

“I have never booked someone to the Calgary Folk Club without seeing them live, but I did with these guys.” - Suze Casey, Artistic Director, Calgary Folk Club
