Lemon Cash Interview

Ottawa-born brothers, Cory and Jeff Papineau live by this saying.  So much so, that they named their band Lemon Cash.

The band’s name was inspired by the brothers’ childhood when they ran a neighbourhood lemonade stand. The two brothers would come home each day celebrating their hard-earned “lemon cash”. To this day they share similar interests in music and continue to write and record music together.

Lemon Cash started out as a cover band, forming an alternative rock band with some local friends from their hometown of Ottawa, Ontario. The band had success playing lots of gigs, receiving radio traction and formed quite a substantial following for only a couple of years of playing together. After 3 years of playing as a five-piece band, the members of Lemon Cash decided to part on good terms and ended their days as a rock band.

Looking to evolve their music, Cory and Jeff found their sweet spot and transitioned into the country world where they would come to realize this is where their tastes and personalities fit best.

Lemon Cash is busy recording in the studio with producers such as Doug Oliver (Cold Creek County), Chris McComb (River Town Saints) and will be releasing their first full-length album in 2021.
