A War on Everything!

Opening for a Rolling Stones show last summer, the Glorious Sons have been recently acquainted with rock royalty. They’ve been a powerhouse in 2019, capping off their summer appearance with the Stones with the release of their third full length album “A War On Everything” in September and embarking on an international tour in the fall.

A Candian rock band from Kingoston, Ontario. Brothers Jay and Brett Emmons lead the band that merges hard rock with soulful elements of blues and country rock. With lyrics that offer a candid, sometimes existential ramble on the working man, drugs, and the pitfalls of love, vocalist Brett Emmons performs with a power and grit that is reminiscent of some of the classic rock legends.

Glorious Sons are returning to Firefly after making their festival debut in 2018. Frontrunner Brett Emmons, shrouded by his long unkempt locks, is sure to perform with an energy and vigor that lets everyone know why the band deserves to be back. Since their last appearance, they have headlined their A War on Everything Tour, making the European circuit last fall and returning to North America to kick off 2020. They will be making their stop at Firefly this year before heading to Ontario, Canada to finish off their summer tour.

First State Studios Top 3 Songs We Hope To See Performed At Firefly

1. S.O.S. (Sawed Off Shotgun)
An anthem against the tax man, man

2. Panic Attack
First track off their latest album, “A War on Everything” that really sets that tone

groovy rifts on this one remind us of some early stuff from The Black Keys
