About the Neighbours Band
Neighbours should be friendly, civilized, and live next door. Neighbours Band is just that – four talented musicians living side by side on Vancouver Island, Canada. Playing rock, country and blues cover tunes for coming up to 23 years, they are now working on a double album – 23 Stories – with pre-releases over winter/spring/summer and a scheduled full release in fall 2023.
