Dave McCann and the Firehearts: Dixiebluebird

Dave McCann and the Firehearts (formerly Dave McCann and the Ten-Toed Frogs) are a treasure of the Alberta music scene. I've seen them live twice and they've put on a great show both times. They're an alt-country band with that Alberta flavour that I MUCH prefer over the American country bands. How can I describe it? It feels a bit dirtier and a little bit more homey. Sorry, I'm not a professional so that's the best I can do. Just listen to this, Corb Lund and Ian Tyson and maybe you'll see what I mean.

Dave McCann and the Firehearts used to be Dave McCann and the Ten-Toed Frogs. They changed their name because they were told that the Ten-Toed Frogs doesn't sound very marketable. I don't really care what they call themselves, because the music sounds great all the same. It's a shame more people don't know about them. It's difficult to find ANY videos of them on YouTube at all!
Well, I guess I'm doing my part.

Here is Dave and the band playing somebody's backyard. I don't know the name of this song:


Here is Dave playing a song that isn't on this album without his band:


Sorry, this is the best I can do. For all you tech-savvy people, I believe they are on iTunes.
