The Rawling BrothersDoug and Bruce Rawling have been playing music since their childhood,
when they travelled and sang with their family. Their album “Hand Me Downs, Volume 1” was
the 2004 Vibe Award winner for the best Country Bluegrass Album in Canada.
Their music is a blend of a lot of different styles, influenced by old time country, gospel music,
bluegrass, folk and even rock music. The brothers have come up with the phrase ‘Rocky Mountain Country’
for describing their sound. For more information ... Rawling Brothers Profile

A Day Late a Dollar ShortWe are on a mission to bring back an appreciation of ( or ignite a passion for )
bluegrass music. For the believers, it is usually a life long love affair. For the uninitiated, we hope
to introduce a love of the music. If there seems to be no middle ground, its because you either love it
or hate it. Voted Okanagan Music Award 2006 "BLUEGRASS BAND OF THE YEAR". For more information...

John HoughJohn is deeply rooted in Canadian folk music.
He first came to the attention of wider audiences as lead vocalist/guitarist for the
Vancouver-based Celtic band, Under the Moss. His album, Train Through a Northern Town,
is truly a taste of Canada. Performing with John will be Andrea Law, with lots of rhythm
on her big stand-up bass, and Jim Woodyard, adding superlative solos on acoustic guitar and
banjo. Together, their music comes to the crossroads where folk meets country, and the
four strong winds raise a little dust.
