Ocean & Fire
Meet Ocean and Fire, the dynamic brother and sister duo whose musical journey is deeply rooted in the rich traditions of their upbringing. They were raised in a household where their father, a gigging musician with bluegrass and rock and roll roots, immersed them in the enchanting world of harmonies around campfires and the kitchens of Nova Scotia. It's no wonder that Tracey and John embraced the tradition of playing rhythmically and singing in beautiful harmonies.
From his teenage years, John has been strumming his guitar, crafting original songs, performing them in bands In BC, and playing solo while travelling all over North America. His musical adventures have taken him from the intimate settings of small pubs and cafes to the iconic Sunset Dock on Key West. Meanwhile, Tracey, with her soulful and powerful voice, has been singing and entertaining since she was 13 and joined forces with John, sharing stages in cafes and pubs for many years.

The Lonesome Town Painters
The Lonesome Town Painters are a tried-and-true, bona fide bluegrass band hailing from Vancouver, British Columbia. These fellas have a look, style and sound that harkens back to the raw and ragged edge of the genre. Their soaring harmonies and driving instrumentation have come to define their spirited performances, while their honestly written originals pay tribute to golden era pioneers. Playing an eclectic mix of songs about love, heartache, prison, and the odd gospel number, this hard-hitting quartet would be equally at home in the barroom on Saturday night or the church house on Sunday morning, comfortable treading that fine line between perdition and salvation.

Ian X Ben
Ian x Ben is a collaborative project featuring two of Vancouver's most prolific loopers. Ian Cromwell is a classically-trained violist whose love and deep passion for music winds its way through alternative, jazz, hip-hop, and R&B to take the form of punched-up funky interpretations of rock and pop classics. Benjamin Parker on guitar breathes new life into a blues-rock and soul classic sound. Longtime collaborators and friends, Ian and Ben first joined forces as members of “saloon folk” band Jack Mercer & The Whiskey Bandits. Since then, Ian and Ben have lit up stages all over Vancouver separately, coming together for the first time in 2024.
Audiences can expect to enjoy classics that cross blues rock, soul, pop, and funk, with lush and inventive virtuoso electric violin and guitar over a background of heavy beats and pristine loops. Singing along is highly encouraged.

Leonard and The Lab Rats
Leonard and the Lab Rats is Vancouver’s biggest little blues and band, a compact trio with a expansive sound enabled by an idiosyncratic approach to both instrumentation and technique, and featuring three distinctive singers
Leader ‘Huggybear’ Leonard Huggard is the rare blues harmonica ace that goes beyond the clichés while still honoring the tradition. He delivers a warm, round saxophone-like timbre as well as clever and tasteful accompaniment on ukulele, melodica, and various flutes and sundries in addition to singing some carefully curated classics and his own original compositions
Dave ‘Double D' Dykhuizen is East Van's hardest working man in show biz, performing with a dizzying array of local and international acts as a polymath guitarist, and as a hard hitting blue eyed soul singer in his own right. With the Lab Rats, Dave employs a unique approach, equal parts Lenny Breau and BB King, to bring you a soulful stew like none other
Martin Eade is a longtime stalwart in Vancouver's music scene, from his beginnings in drum corps, to cabaret acts throughout the seventies and eighties, to his current in-demand status in the blues and roots music world. A sensitive, dynamic and versatile drummer, Martin also takes the mic for a few vocal numbers with the Lab Rats.
