The Rhythm Hounds

The Rhythm Hounds return to SLIDERFEST 2023 by popular demand! This local group of four exceptional musicians are consummate entertainers.

The Rhythm Hounds provide a unique and distinctive expression of the enduring and timeless blues-flavoured groove.

The Rhythm Hounds represent many years of stylistic development and diverse practical experience. They provide a distinctive, energetic edge to their performances, while maintaining sensitivity toward the character of each venue.

Over the past two decades, The Rhythm Hounds have enjoyed success at a host of clubs, events and festivals throughout the Niagara Region. Given the resurgence of the blues in the music industry, The Rhythm Hounds’ sound continues to gain popularity with audiences of all ages, successfully crossing over into funk, reggae, jazz and popular music.
