According to the band's web site, Colin Nairne brought the group together in 2010 to play his favourite bluegrass songs. Nairne was an original member of
Barney Bentall and the Legendary Hearts, so
Bentall must have seemed an obvious choice. Bentall, Wendy Bird, Angela Harris, Eric Reed, and Rob Becker also perform together as Barney Bentall & The Grand Cariboo Opry. The Grand Cariboo Opry is a charity event that Bentall has been hosting since about 2006, doing several performances a year throughout western
Canada. == Discography ==
