Interstellar Riders (Vancouver, Canada) are a surf rock band that burst onto the scene in Nov 2023 with the release of their self-titled debut EP. Their sound and live shows are rooted in reverb-drenched rock 'n' roll that blends surf instrumental music with scfi-psychedelic garage rock themes. Everything from Link Wray to Shadowy Men with sonic fury & space echo twang! This is a high energy band with driving rhythms, twangy melodies and surfy tremolo-picked guitar. The enigmatic trio features Joe Rotundo (guitar), Jeremy Holmes (bass) and Todd Biffard (drums).
Joe Abbott and the Flying J's play and sing original tunes that range from folky ballads to rocking honky tonk dance numbers as well as classic tunes and dusty old gems from the country, jazz and blues songbooks of the 1930s thru '60s. Joe has won over audiences around the continent with his candid writing song writing, nostalgic vocal stylings and wailing clarinet.
Ringo Supernova and the East Van Play People bring together the Cowboys and the Swing Dancers for raucous night of the oft overlooked electrifying sounds of Western Swing. The band features fiddles, horns, steel guitar, and rhythm section - all some of Vancouver's finest musicians.
The bastard middle-aged lovechild of Porter Wagoner and Wanda Jackson, Rusty Ford wants to bring country music a bouquet of flowers and give her a hickey.
Based in Vancouver, Rusty Ford is singer-songwriter whose unique tunes are a saucy salute to the golden age of classic country.
Inspired by a gag email of the top ten worst country songs never written, his tongue-in-cheek love ballads include "I Hate Every Bone in Your Body Except Mine", and "I Miss You But My Aim's Improving".
Rusty's rocking band the Extra Regulars features the Noah Walker on lead guitar Jodie Ponto on drums (both of Kitty and the Rooster) and Terri Upton on standup bass. In addition to a rich line up of original tunes, they can bring the house down with a full set of uncannily channeled classics from the late great Stompin’ Tom Conners.
Rusty’s tunes are aimed straight for your heart, ricocheting off your funny bone. If you’re looking for a fun detour from the musical mainstream, Rusty can give you ride.
