The Back Alley Ringers is a kick-arse Toronto based Blues band. Comprised of 3 steady members that have an immense passion for Blues music. This passion started at a very young age for Armando (the band lead) and brother Stefano (on drums) They are mostly self-taught and have a great live raw sound. The band formed and began playing live in 2006. The name Back Alley Ringers derives from an industrial unit owned by Armando and Stefano’s father where they’d practice weekly, this unit had a sort of “Back Alley” to access the entry door, hence the name! It is our goal to play Blues music live, as much as possible, until the good Lord allows us too!
