Leeroy Stagger and the Wildflowers (Stage 1 | 1:30 to 2:30 pm)
There are songwriters who find a creative niche and never stray from it. Then there are songwriters who choose to continually break down what they are known for and start again from the ground up. Leeroy Stagger is the latter. Capturing a more mature sound than earlier recordings, his 4th studio album, Everything is Real,…

Rude City Riot (Stage 2 | 2:40 to 3:40 pm)
Great original songs, strong vocals and memorable hooks & solos - all those adjectives fit RUDE CITY RIOT.

The Trews (Stage 1 | 6:30 to 7:45 pm)
The Trews didn’t set out to make an acoustic record, nor did it come about by accident. Those who know the band a little will know them as an electrifying and electrified rock band; those who know them well know their acoustic side, long a staple in the live set but less heard on album.…

Corb Lund is a Canadian musician/cowboy/3rd generation Albertan rancher who has crafted an exhilarating style of Western music. His new album Losin’ Lately Gambler is propelled by a galloping stand-up bass, steel guitar and is set to Corb’s Jack London-esque yarns about down-and-out cowboys, whiskey and ranching. The sound is tough to categorize but the…

Lucy and the Lucky Four (Stage 1 | 1:00 pm to 2:00 pm)
Lucy and the Lucky Four (LATL4) have come a long way in a short time.

The Dustin Bentall Outfit (Stage 2 | 2:10 pm to 3:10 pm)
Dustin Bentall hails from Vancouver, BC and it seems an unlikely place to nurture such a rustic troubadour. It seemed like an unlikely country for Rick Danko, Robbie Robertson, Garth Hudson, Richard Manuel or Neil Young to be from… until people took a closer look. Up here you’ll find as deep a frontier spirit and…

Bif Naked (Stage 1 | 3:20 pm to 4:20 pm)
Well, what did you expect?” says a bemused Bif Naked, when asked about her new album, “The Promise”. “Of course I made a record! I had planned to release a record in 2009 and it is not in my being to let ANYTHING stop me. In January 2008, Bif made an announcement that shocked fans…

Default (Stage 1 | 6 pm to 7:15 pm)
“We’re pretty much reinventing ourselves as a band.” That’s a fairly heavy statement for any singer to make, especially someone who fronts a relatively young band with a million-plus in record sales, several massive rock radio hits (“Wasting My Time”, “Deny”, “Taking My Life Away”), a bunch of late-night-tv show appearances and more than a…

Doc Walker (Stage 1 | 7:55 pm to 9:10 pm)
“Simplicity is the best hook sometimes,” says Doc Walker’s Chris Thorsteinson. Although he’s talking primarily about choosing songs for the band’s latest record, GO, that statement also goes a long way in explaining the band’s enduring success and lasting appeal. Over their decade-plus time together Doc Walker have earned the title of ‘the hardest working…
