We are the Midnight Boppers, a Montreal-based Rockabilly trio. We entertain with our original tunes and complement our shows with interpretations of a wide range of 50s favorites. In a style mixing grit and raunchiness, the Midnight Boppers can either deliver high-energy, foot-stomping, dance-floor bopping tunes, or play with a more subdued verve for softer numbers. We have a 2018 EP containing a small sampling of our original tunes and we launched our album "Break It Loose" with 12 brand-new original songs in June 2022. We recorded this latest album at Planet Studios using 24 track analog technology to capture the sound of the era.
Nick Shivers, the band's frontman and creative engine, delivers a raunchy and often gritty mix of emotion-filled vocals and guitar licks. Growing up in L.A., within the west coast music scene, Nick honed his skills and built his musical style whilst immersed in the same music as the original rockabilly pioneers as well as those from blues, jazz, country, black gospel and roots rock.
Jacques Bisson plays his upright with a punchy slap style when the tunes need that energy and lays it back with smooth vibrations when the mood mellows. His uniqueness comes from putting his own spin on all those 45s of his youth.
Bobby Ray plays the rhythms that are etched in his head from his early exposure to a rich musical environment, as well as all those sounds of the Friday night dances of his teenage years. His groove and style of play ensure the right tone and subtleness required for the lighter tunes and delivers the energy and beats needed to jolt the crowd to its feet.
Whether we are playing our original songs or are interpreting classics in our own Midnight Boppers style, we converge all we have with energy, style and finesse to enthusiastic audiences everywhere.
