Toronto, Canada
Balkan – Gypsy – Klezmer – Punk
Lemon Bucket Orkestra was started in Toronto by a Breton and Uke over Balkan music and Vietnamese food. Tired of music ‘scenes,’ they hit the streets, busking by day and crashing parties by night, creating and living folk music in the city. With their folk-everything-attitude and tendency to pop up everywhere, it wasn’t long before they hooked up with other lemons who wanted in the bucket… Lemon Bucket Orkestra are Toronto’s only Balkan Klezmer Gypsy Party-Punk Super Band!
CNN, CBC, Fox & the Toronto Star have all featured their viral in-flight performance video. Less mainstream, but in the thick of the world music scene, they’ve shared the stage with Taraf de Haidouks, Shantel & the Bucovina Club Orkestar, and the What Cheer? Brigade.
