Born from the universal language of sound, Scruffyfish carves out a distinct voice in the heart of Alberta—creating Global Country World Music. The band weaves the polyrhythmic roots of West Africa with the driving backbeat of rock and roll and the soulful sway of rhythm and blues. Anchored by strong melodies and a deep sense of groove, Scruffyfish creates music that feels both timeless and electric, inviting connection, movement, and shared experience.
