The Gleesons are a local Fernwood family band whos members range from age 11 to 27. They specialze in 70’s rock, folk and blues. Wear your tie dye and bring your hippies. (Deadheads allowed) Blending 60’s vocal groups, jangly power pop, whiskey tinged country and confessional soul balladry. Geoff has just released his debut solo album “Hard Folk” and is excited to introduce you to his band. An amalgamation of three very different female voices. With the help of a suitcase filled with instruments, this trio brings a collection of eclectic originals, as well as their own unique twist on songs that you may or may not already know. These guys will delight any audience with their take on post war Chicago blues and rock ‘n’ roll. Estella is a four piece electric folk-rock band based out of the West Shore, consisting a guitar, bass & drums but adding counter-melodies with violin, vocal harmonies & the fanfare of a trumpet.

This Nanaimo based band will capture your heart and mind with original, organic artrock that innovates and inspires. Influenced by the likes of Jeff Buckley, Radiohead and Bon Iver. Country and western from a select troupe of Fernwood’s finest. The always entertaining David P. Smith leads the group. Early eighties power pop favourites flavoured with slide guitar. Imagine Elvis Costello meets Hank Williams! An eleven-piece funk machine will make you shake everything you got! Seemlessly blending elements of R&B, soul and hip hop to create a funk-i-fied feast for the ears, this is a show you won’t want to miss... Circus blues, classic rock and psychedelia. The last 12 months have seen BoneHoof play Rifflandia, Rock of the Woods, Campbell Bay Music festival.
