The New Mountain Rangers

Whistler & Pemberton's best-looking bluegrass and acoustic music.
Like The Beatles, but more Canadian.

The Best Looking Band in Whistler & Pemberton

The New Mountain Rangers (also known as The Courageous Mountain Rangers) are a 4 piece acoustic string band based out of Pemberton/Whistler. Jeff, Mike, and Brett all trade off singing lead and harmony, and play a diverse range of songs loosely based on the bluegrass format.But don't let that fool you! While the instrumentation of mandolin, guitar, banjo, dobro and upright bass is traditional bluegrass, CMR is beyond a bluegrass band. The material they play is diverse, to make a bit of an understatement:

  • Hard driving bluegrass.

  • Blazing hot fiddle tunes.

  • Melancholy murder ballads.

  • Latin love songs.

  • Western/Texas Swing & Jazz-inspired numbers.

  • Plenty of originals.

  • Our own take on familiar songs by the Beatles, Neil Young, Gillian Welch, Steve Earle, and others.

  • Even some "grunge grass" covers of your favorite 90s grunge songs, and some Stevie Wonder tunes.

These youngins are also widely considered to be the best looking band in the Whistler + Pemberton area as well. So they've got that going for them, too!
