Event Description
The Reckoners
Ricardo Khayatte and Christina Simpson, are at the forefront of Canada's folk revival, delivering their debut EP, ...And The Sky Opened Up at a time when music fans are gravitating to something "real." The six song debut has garnered 4.5 Star reviews in Canada's major market daily papers like the Vancouver Sun and the Winnipeg Free Press, as well as stellar reviews in the Toronto Star's "Anti Hit List" and Exclaim Magazine.
Cory Woodward
“The Edmonton-born singer-songwriter has the uncanny ability to spark a connection between himself and some of the greatest musicians of all time,” boasts Exclaim! magazine about Cory Woodward. And since his arrival on the Vancouver music scene five years ago, he has done nothing but prove this statement to be true. Woodward entices listeners with a soothing, Springsteen-like rasp, then blows them away with the unbridled, soulful bellow of Joe Cocker. Like John Lennon or Jeff Tweedy before him, he can paint a bitter picture of life, but always leaves audiences with a message of hope. With the support of his band Woodward delivers a high energy rock show that you soon won't forget.
Redgy Blackout
At the core Redgy Blackout is Scott Perrie and Jeremy Breaks. Collaborating since '06, they have toured Western Canada consistently and become an exciting live act. Their newest EP garnered critical acclaim from folk/rock and alt country sources for their mix of styles. The songs are woven together with heartfelt vocals and intricate banjo and guitar work. 2011 has been an exciting year for them with appearances at Pop Okanagan, BC Rivers Day Festival and best of all a Top 20 spot in the Peak Performance Project in BC
