The Janzen Boys are a harmony-driven folk roots trio from Winnipeg, Canada. Formed in 2012, their journey began as a busking act at The Forks market before quickly growing into a full-fledged family band. Known for heartfelt originals, familiar covers, and tight family harmonies, they’ve built a reputation for delivering both warmth and energy on stage.

The Janzen Boys have built a strong reputation, with a mailing list of over 7,000 fans and more than 50,000 social media followers, fueled by a savvy online marketing campaign centered on their distinctive songwriting and traditional covers. With funding from FACTOR Canada and Manitoba Film & Music, The Janzen Boys have toured relentlessly, selling out venues in markets where their only prior presence was online. Their physical record sales exceed 11,000, a testament to their digital prowess and loyal fanbase. 
This funding is now fuelling their upcoming EP, The Great Unknown, set for release in Fall 2025. Produced by Murray Pulver (Crash Test Dummies, Doc Walker) and Trey Mills (Forest Blakk), the EP promises a vibrant mix of originals, traditional songs, and country-driven rockers. As they prepare to unveil The Great Unknown, The Janzen Boys are poised to bring their earnest, harmony-rich sound to new heights, proving that in a crowded musical landscape, their authenticity and craft stand tall among the weeds.
