The Waltons

A Canadian acoustic folk-rock trio who might be the true successors to Ian & Sylvia or 3's A Crowd, The Waltons make low-key, largely acoustic music that thankfully bypasses the twin bear traps of preciousness and pretentiousness. The group formed in Regina, Saskatchewan, in 1987 when college friends Jason Plumb (lead vocals and acoustic guitar), Keith Nakonechny (bass and vocals), and Dave Cooney (drums) began performing Plumb's songs in clubs around town. After gigging around western Canada for four years, the trio moved to Toronto in 1991, where they quickly established themselves on the thriving local folk scene.
