Festival Infomation

	The Rawling Brothers Doug 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

	ASH Ash is a three piece acoustic band, based out of the North Okanagan area of British Columbia. Comprised of three veteran musicians, their three part harmonies send their listeners to an earlier era, when bands like Crosby, Stills, and Nash, Poco and Firefall were in their hayday.

	The Salmon Armenians The Salmon Armenians have been chosen the Best Blues Band in the Okanagan for 2007 at the Okanagan Music Awards at the Community Theatre in Kelowna, B.C. This is the second year in a row that they have been recognized by their peers in the music industry. The popular Salmon Arm-based group are busy performing throughout the Okanagan and writing and recording their second CD which will feature all original songs.

	Steve Palmer Raised on gospel, country and the blues, the old time influences on a young prairie picker with a love of Doc Watson made him a good fit for psychedelic folk-rock bands touring and playing support for most of the big name suspects during the ‘60s UK invasion.

	A Day Late a Dollar Short We 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... Band Profile.

	The James Murdoch Band This original singer, song writer, and producer leads a fine soft rock band based in Edmonton. His latest album In Transit has critics raving, calling it “a top notch, beautiful album.”

	John Hough John 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.

	Double Dawg Dare Chris Doherty and Gary Nielsen are Double Dawg Dare, an eclectic mix of folk, blues, swing and originals. Their new song “Play It On the Fiddle” with Sylvia Johnson – was an instant hit at the Georgia Strait Guitar Workshop. Both Nielsen and Doherty were original members of Not Just Folk Music back in the early days of coffeehouses and concerts in Kamloops

	That Girl and Earl There’s nothing like two voices in close harmony. This fine duo is a real delight… a pleasure to listen to.

	Debbie Stone Please welcome Debbie Stone to our lineup of great musicians.

	Colin Bunt This fine country vocalist is back, with his crisp renditions of traditional country songs. If it’s real country you want to hear, Colin’s your man.
