Brian MacMillan

He's the guy you want to jam with. Cause he's cool. And a wicked musician. Plus he writes great songs. C'mon.

The D. Rangers

Like a freight train barreling by the old homestead and rattling the windows, The D. Rangers will shake you with a high-energy "Bluegrass come Punk" sound that is theirs and theirs alone.

Darlene

Darlene is a very special addition to the festival. She's a true road-gypsy, having criss-crossed the continent in various modes of transportation since 1990. When she's in the room - singing or smiling - spirits are raised.

David Essig

David Essig honed his songwriting craft in the exciting London folk scene of the 1970's. His pals at the time were folks like Stan Rogers, Willie P. Bennett (rest in peace) and David Bradstreet. A unique and passionate singer and player and a peaceful soul to have at the festival!

Evalyn Parry

A poet, a songwriter, an actor and always an entertainer, Evalyn is one of an exciting crop of second-generation folkies who are making a mark on the festival circuit. Expect a smart, political, irreverent and entirely unique performance.

Hey Stella

A true all-star band, Hey Stella consists of Lori Yates, David Baxter, Michelle Josef and Basil Donovan. Each of these performers has had a long and celebrated career and together they create a haunting, twanged-up sound.

Kobo Town

Calypso to the core. Intelligent rhymes and a deeply rooted groove. We dare you to stay seated.

Kristin Sweetland

The soul inhabitant and all-powerful princess of planet Sweetland, Kristin has honed her guitar and songwriting chops with her brand new album, Own Sweet Time. Watch for her and road-pal Darlene. They've been known to swing swords and hula-hoops in an elaborate and impromptu dance.

Liam Titcomb

The younger of the two Titcombs at the festival this year, Liam returns hot on the heels of a strong new album and an increasingly unique sound.

Little Miss Higgins

Quirky country blues that will transport you away to another time.

Nathan Rogers

Nathan Rogers has grown up. He's found his own voice and his own style and he pretty much owns his father's song, Northwest Passage, since silencing a crowd of 10,000 people with it at the Stan Rogers festival a couple of years ago. I was there. I'll never forget it.

Old Man Luedecke

Gentle and mesmerizing, Old Man Luedecke kicks back on a fallen log, strums the banjo and sings his songs for the birds and the salamanders. They love him. You will too.

The Perpetrators

How do three prairie boys from Winnipeg become one of the hottest blues/rock bands on the Canadian circuit? By givin' 'er. Hard. With a weekly spot at Winnipeg's Times Change(d) and constant touring across the country.

www.perps.ca

Scarlett, Washington & Whiteley

Eaglewood perennials with over 200 combined years of musical mastery. There's a reason we love them.

Sheesham & Lotus

When you sit in a circle with Sheesham & Lotus, you become transported to the Blue Ridge Mountains in the 1930's with true vagabond performers as your tour guides. They're an old-school, old-time fiddle and banjo duo who will knock your socks off.

Sho, Mo & The Monkey Bunch

Sho's awesome. Mo's super-cool. And the Monkey Bunch are just full of bananas. Together, they'll get you and your little ones dancing and singing along!

T. Nile

T. Nile burst onto the scene a couple of years ago out of her native BC with a hypnotic debut CD. Since then she's been catching the attention of everyone she plays for with strong writing and captivating performances.

Tannis Slimmon

Tannis is like a subtle summer breeze - you barely realize what's happening until all of a sudden you're refreshed, rejuvenated and rejoicing.

Wabs Whitebird

Native. Intelligent. Young. Political. Wabs Whitebird is a rapper who rhymes with a fierce respect for who he is, where he comes from and what he's giving a voice to.
