My Roots are small country Hamlet. Large is my desire to share my music. Writing is a strong aspect of my music, it’s how I express myself. I wish to learn everything I can about the music Industry and recording. Graduated from Harbourside Institute of Technology for audio Engineering in 2009. I live for music, and it’s apart of my everyday life. Singing is my passion in life, and I always have a tune playing in my head. “Just listen” the title of my song, will tell you apart of what I have to say to the world, and how I feel about music. All you got to do is “Just Listen”

Vulcan, AB
If you’ve ever driven south from Calgary through Vulcan and Champion to Lethbridge, then you are familiar with the music of Tin & The Toad. Their songwriting speaks of coulees and wildflowers, bourbon and trains in the distance… and they’ve quietly made names for themselves, honing their craft at jam nights and open stages throughout the south, and by playing with many of Southern Alberta’s most renown folk and country artists including Dave Mccann, Steve Coffey, and Steve Pineo. Their debut album, “Roots to Ramble On”, is due out in the fall featuring a collection of original material from all band members and a raw, rich, and overtly Rural Albertan Sound.

The Free Beer Band were formed almost 40 years ago, when Arne Berger, (guitar and horn) Doug Broomfield, (bass and piano)and Larry McIntosh, (drums) along with other area musicians, (Blackie, Nanton, Stavely) began playing for parties, dances andyes, free beer. They were joined in 2002 by George Blake, (pedal steel and guitar) veteran of several other local bands, and have enjoyed a long career of music and travel together.
They like to think of themselves as primarily a dance band, with many influences, including Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, Elvis Presley, Roy Orbison, Ray Price, Tex-Mex music, and classic country and rock and roll. Their sets are sprinkled with instrumentals as well as vocals, along with some original material. They all share vocal duties as well as harmonies, and have developed a solid following with their distinctive sound. In short, a "good time dance band" with "music for all occasions.
Based in Calgary, this group of high-energy musicians are always ready to ROCK. Whether they are touring with some of Canada’s premier country music artists or playing at your local dance hall, High Steppin’ Daddy always puts on a great show. Their music includes New and Classic Country as well as a mix of Rock, R&B, Oldies, and whatever is required to keep your toe tappin’.
