Taken By Canadians is four piece alternative, folk, independent, and rock band with members coming from wildly different musical backgrounds. This blend of genres, mixed with a traditional, yet often off-the-cuff style of songwriting, makes for quite an interesting musical statement. Originally from North County San Diego, they have been playing together for over two years. Beofre touring, Taken By Canadians performed in a variety of venues ranging from laundromats, to clubs, to street corners. Marco plays upright bass and trumpet. Anna plays violin, cello, and sings vocals. Ben writes songs, plays guitar, and sings vocals.
