Over the last couple years Tomato/Tomato  have worked hard to become the faces of music in Saint John. They’ve muscled their way in with their well defined calves and forced us to like them with their general adorableness. Now they’re turning it around and making it all about us with their video for ‘Everything You Need (Revisited)’.

‘Everything You Need’ was originally a track from last album ‘I Go Where You Go’ but they duo decided the song needed a few tweaks to better reflect the direction their music was headed. The reworked version has a bit more edge to it, and sounds decidedly more country than the bands usual bluegrass.

“We rerecorded the vocals, added awesome guitar by Kris Richards, added new bass, drums, and had it mastered by Nashville’s John Baldwin,” says Tomato Lisa Mclaggan. “Come to think of it, the only things on it that remain from the original recording are the dobro and banjo tracks.”

Despite checking off all the boxes on the bluegrass checklist – washboard, beard, and banjo – that’s technically not bluegrass enough according to Mclaggan. “I would categorize it as being more in the Americana genre. That would explain the electric guitar. I think that’s more where we’re leaning – we were never truly a bluegrass band anyway. I mean – we were never really a “full fledged” bluegrass band. There’s actually no percussion in traditional bluegrass music. So my washboard, kick and snare drums have been a bit sacrilegious. We are actually complete rebels!”
