Lemon Bucket Orkestra are Toronto’s original guerrilla-folk-party-punks. The award-winning crew has been called “frenetic, charismatic, and gloriously anarchic” by the New York Times, The Guardian, the Winnipeg Free Press and media across the globe. Over the past 15 years LBO have performed all over the world from WOMAD in England and New Zealand and Pohoda in Slovakia, Festival D’Été in Québec City to New Orleans Jazz Fest in Louisiana. The ensemble has received many nominations and awards, winning “World Group of The Year” at the 2015 Canadian Folk Music Awards, and a 2016 JUNO nomination for “World Music Album of the Year.” Equal parts exhilarating precision and reckless abandon, LBO live is a truly immersive experience mixing sweat and tears with audience chorales and howling at the moon. You can hear that journey on their latest album Cuckoo (2024). It’s signature LBO: powerful Ukrainian polyphony and driving Balkan rhythms filtered through hip-hop, punk and jazz and a whole range of global influences and purpose accrued from their eclectic global journeys and polycultural home of Toronto.
