Event Description
Carolyn Mark
In the early 90's Carolyn formed her first band... all-girl surfy twang popsters, The Vinaigrettes. This was the beginning of a love affair with music, musicians and the road that, even after 15+ years of crazy hard work, still puts the nitro in her funny car. After The Vinaigrettes, Carolyn did brief stints in such bands as The Metronome Cowboys and The Fixin's before, in 2000, making her Mint Records debut with her first solo album, Party Girl. Since then, and with the help of a revolving cast of Can-Country super stars including, but not limited to, Tolan McNeil, Garth Johnson, Ford Pier, Nathan Tinkham, Corb Lund, NQ Arbuckle, .. Luke Doucet, Amy Honey, Greg MacDonald, Neko Case and Carey Mercer, she has released five more highly acclaimed albums. As well, she has also travelled thousands of miles entertaining crowds of 4 to 4000... touring Canada, the United States, the UK, Norway and Italy. She has shared the stage with such talented musicians as Jenny Whitely, Hank & Lily, Luther Wright, Sarah Harmer, Kelly Hogan, Lederhosen Lucil, Geoff Berner, Joel Plaskett, The Handsome Family, Neil Hamburger, JT and The Clouds, The Shiftless Rounders, NQ Arbuckle, Wanda Jackson, The Waco Brothers, The Sadies and Blue Rodeo.
Stolen Organs
The Stolen Organ Family Band prays to The back of A LumBerjack’s hand Let me move through WOOD likeSAND and I will SHAKE YOU GOOD The Stolen Organ Family Band. shakin’, understood?. They always, always record at home and were once called the Bastard Sons of Screamin’ Jay Hawkins. He was glad. Their freakish brand of distorted country psychedelia has somehow had them sharing a stage with touring sensations such as Mother Mother, Yo La Tengo, Adrian Orange and The Small Sins. The year 2008 saw the flourishing of their reputation as a beloved festival band, with invitations from Sled Island, THe Voodoo Music Experience and Littlefest, among others.
Buffalo Swans
Frolicking somewhere between the dusty vintage past and the psychedelic rafters of the future, Buffaloswans are a 5-7 piece beast from Vancouver, BC who play in the fields and forests of Cosmic American Music.
