THE GOOD BROTHERS ANNOUNCE LARRY GOOD TO RETIRE FROM THE GROUP AFTER UPCOMING OCTOBER 2026 TOUR DATES INCLUDING STOP AT TD MUSIC HALL
3 brothers in a band. A lifetime together. Eight Juno Awards. Numerous Halls Of Fame inductions. Countless North American and European tours. And now, after 50+ years together, legendary Canadian Country / Folk / Bluegrass group The Good Brothers prepare to begin a new chapter in their incredible career as youngest brother Larry Good announces his retirement from the group after their upcoming October 2026 tour dates.
The Good Brothers
In 1970 twin brothers Bruce and Brian Good of Richmond Hill, Ontario, met James Ackroyd from Winnipeg, Manitoba and formed a band simply called James and The Good Brothers. Their first show was with Grand Funk Railroad at Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto. Then came the cross Canada tour on the outrageous Festival Express with such artists as The Grateful Dead, Janis Joplin, Ian & Sylvia, Ten Years After, Traffic and The Band just to name a few. After reconnecting with The Grateful Dead in California, and along with a little help from their friends Jefferson Airplane, they recorded their first album on Columbia Records. What excitement - the nights at the renowned Troubadour in West Hollywood, the gigs at San Francisco's famed Fillmore West and Winterland Ballroom with The Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane, Quicksilver Messenger Service, and the New Riders of The Purple Sage.
Later, James would choose to remain in the U.S. while the brothers returned home to Canada and recruited younger brother Larry. This was 1973 and would become the beginning of a wonderful musical trip as... The Good Brothers. Their first gig was the legendary Toronto club The Riverboat, on May 14, 1974. They played simple, straight from the soul music that encompassed country, bluegrass, folk, Celtic and the occasional taste from their rock & roll songbook. Highlighted by Larry's fiery banjo breaks, Bruce's award winning autoharp styles, Brian’s guitar finger picking and their unique sibling harmonies, they produced enough energy to burn down the barn.
It wasn't long before The Good Brothers were packing Toronto's fabled El Mocambo five nights a week; breaking bar records, attendance records and exhausting determined dancers. Then there were eight straight Juno Awards for Best Country Group, and headline gigs at Toronto’s Massey Hall and Roy Thompson Hall, The National Art Centre in Ottawa and the weeks at L.A.'s Universal Amphitheatre with their mentor Gordon Lightfoot. There was even a certified gold self-titled double album.
They kept the flame glowing, and the music flowing through out the 80's and 90's and beyond. Canada's musical soundtrack, through all those years, included The Good Brothers.
