The AB3 Bio
many thanks to Nuhn's auto repairs and wrecking yard for the kind use of their bus backdrop.
The boys hangin' on their day off.
The AB3 was born in 2005 when 3 road seasoned musicians found themselves living near each other in West Grey Ontario. They soon bonded together to form The AB3 (the Andrew Burgess 3) with the sole purpose of enjoying playing music and exploring musical possibilities. The earliest music was re-moulded cover songs. Then they discovered they could write great music and recorded "Shake!" followed by "Roach 5". The band spends most of their time playing, writing and recording music in Just B.'s studio. They love playing the occasional summer festival or a charitable event they support. The band can be contacted at theab3bandrocks@yahoo.com
