Cuff the Duke: Back From the Vanishing Point, Louder and Looser Than Ever

Saturday, September 27 • 8 PM
The Historic Market Hall

They never really fit in—too twangy for the indie kids, too noisy for the folkies, too honest for the charts. Cuff the Duke have always been that band on the edge of the map, where the sign says “Here Be Feedback” and the roots run deep into Canadian bedrock. Six albums, a couple JUNO nods, a blur of highways and dive bar stages from Halifax to hell and back—and then? Silence.

Ten years of it.

But legends don’t vanish. They hibernate. And now, with guitars slung and amps humming, Cuff the Duke is back—not as a reunion cash-grab or retro nostalgia trip, but as a living, howling reminder of what it means to mean it.

They’ve shared the stage with royalty—Blue Rodeo, Hayden, Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds, Calexico—but they never needed a throne. Their kingdom has always been borderless: where country collides with post-punk, and where fuzz and feeling hold equal weight.

This isn’t a comeback—it’s a return to form, to fire, to friendship. The soundtrack to late-night drives, basement bar breakdowns, and the stubborn refusal to settle down or shut up. Get ready. The Duke rides again.
