Lemon Bucket Orkestra

The Lemon Bucket Orkestra is a 15-piece explosive guerilla orkestra known as Toronto’s only Balkan-klezmer-party-punk super-band. Since its establishment in 2010, Lemon Bucket has released one EP and two full-length albums, as well as toured several times to Europe, South Korea, and across Canada. FACTOR helped to fund the band’s inaugural tour to South Korea with a Tour Support component as part of their Juried Sound Recording funding. There, Lemon Bucket Orkestra collaborated with local folk band Dulsori on an album and country-wide tour.

FACTOR has also helped to fund both of the band’s full-length albumes – Lume, Lume (2012) and Moorka (2015) through the Juried Sound Recording program. Most recently, Lemon Bucket Orkestra won Best World Group Artist of the Year at the Canadian Folk Music Awards (2015) and was also crowned Best Band by NOW magazine’s readers in the 2015 Best of Toronto awards.
