Tomato Tomato is not your garden variety duo. Clever quirky songs draw on folk and bluegrass. An old washboard, rigged up with tin cans and a cymbal, rattles while bass and snare drums are foot powered. Loving harmonies, old-timey guitar and up-cycled percussion create an unmistakable sound between these darlings of Canadian folk scene.
