WILD MOUNTAIN MUSIC FESTIVAL 2016

WELCOME TO THE FESTIVAL #wildmtnmusic

It wasn’t that long ago that we were trying to secure sponsorship to buy some wood to convert an old low-boy trailer into a ‘permanent’ stage ... that became the Wild Mountain Stage, one of those evolutionary things that has come to identify Wild Mountain.

We have continued to get better each year, but have always maintained the intimate musical experience for our patrons. Each year hundreds of volunteers plan, organize, nail and haul Wild Mountain into existence. This year we are thrilled to bring some of Canada’s most awarded performers to the Wild Mountain stage.

Serena Ryder has been on our radar for years, but after the meteoric rise of Harmony and Serena becoming one of the most sought after acts in Canada, it took until this year to sign her as our Wild Mountain headliner. She will be joined by Buffy Sainte-Marie, the matriarch of the Canadian music scene, and a member of the Canadian Country Music Hall of Fame & the Juno Hall of Fame. Although Buffy has been active since the very early 60s, she remains completely relevant. Power in the Blood won the Polaris Prize in 2015 as well as two Junos. This year our Friday night is headlined by the always interesting and two-time Juno award winner Dan Mangan.

Mangan is known for stretching his output lyrically and musically and the perfect pick for Wild Mountain Friday night.

The headliners are then supported by a host of festival favourites and we are pleased to be joined by The Rural Alberta Advantage, the ‘take-Nashville-by-storm’ Lindi Ortega, the Hall of Famer, Russell deCarle and his trio and festival favourite Shred Kelly.

On behalf of our volunteers, I would thank everyone for coming. We are always pleased to show off the amazing place we live as we welcome everyone to the most beautiful festival site on earth.

Stop any one of our volunteers and let them know how we can make your experience better.

KAREN LANDRYrowd!

FRIDAY’S HEADLINER JULY 15, 2016

#wildmtnmusic

DAN MANGAN

Never one to rest on his laurels or do what’s expected of him, Dan Mangan has, yet again, transformed his sound. From the traditional stripped-down acoustic folk of 2010’s Nice Nice Very Nice, to the sweeping orchestration and avant-jazz arrangements of 2012’s Oh Fortune, Dan Mangan works best when he’s moving forward and challenging himself. And so, what’s more challenging than departing from the sound that has earned you two Juno Award wins, international critical accolades, and radio chart success? His latest release, Club Meds, released in 2015 by Arts & Crafts, is a departure, both sonically and thematically.

The music is darker and more complex, but just as affecting as anything he’s ever done, with the richness and honesty of his singular voice ascending over the music, perfectly suiting to his no-holds-barred approach to lyricism. The critically acclaimed album includes “Vessel” – both a Top 5 charter on Canadian radio as well as the focus song from the film score he wrote for Hector and the Search for Happiness.

WILD MOUNTAIN MUSIC FESTIVAL 2016

FRIDAY’S LINE-UP JULY 15, 2016

The Harpoonist & the Axe Murderer Armed with an arsenal of harmonicas, a mess of foot percussion and a road-worn Telecaster, the duo kick out raw and primal blues in the tradition of a “decades-deep blues style”, while infusing the genre with a jolt of renewed energy.

#wildmtnmusic

Petunia & the Vipers Mary-Lee Bird Band Mary-Lee won the Wild Mountain Mashup in 2015 and is back because of it.

Mary-Lee is a crowd favourite around here, growing up in Hinton and being part of the arts in our community for a long time.

Musically, get ready for something completely different.

Petunia & The Vipers thrive on the challenge of adding Latin rhythms to a country blues tune, or gypsy flavouring to a rockabilly standard. Petunia defies convention and yet there is some conservancy to his music. Their songwriting is honest and the live performance is always high energy!

Samson’s Delilah

|

Get ready to dance, a common reaction to a Shred Kelly performance.

Since their inception, the Fernie, BC based band have been re-defining “folk music”. They amplify the traditional folk sound and give it a contemporary approach, pushing the boundaries of the genre, and creating “Stoke-Folk”!

Fearless, unique, soulful world folk, funk, and rock opera.

With a fierce intensity weaving throughout their soundscapes, utterly captivating, Samson’s Delilah will leave their mark. Heavily influenced by Latin guitar, reggae, rock and other world music, driven with thought provoking songwriting, you will not be disappointed by the fusion.

175 Pembina Ave - Upstairs (587) 467-8800 WILD MOUNTAIN MUSIC FESTIVAL 2016

Shred Kelly

JULY 15, 16, 17

White Lightning If you spend any time in the Edmonton music scene, you will have heard rumblings about White Lightning.

The band finds influence in many styles and their live show is electric. Another great high-energy addition to the Friday lineup!

SATURDAY’S HEADLINER JULY 16, 2016

#wildmtnmusic

We are thrilled to welcome Serena Ryder to the Wild Mountain stage. It has been a bit of a wait since the meteoric rise of Harmony, but Serena Ryder is scheduled for a new release.

She is known for her strong live performances and we can’t wait to turn her loose on the Wild Mountain audience.

Ryder is recognized not only as a performer with a 3 octave range, but as a songwriter who writes beautifully crafted songs. Beyond the success of the full recording, Ryder has had a strong run on both sides of the border, with gold and platinum singles with “What I Wouldn’t Do” and “Stompa” from her 2012 Platinum recording, “Harmony”.

Ryder has received four Junos including: 2008 New Artist of The Year, 2009 Adult Alternative Album of The Year (Is It O.K.), 2010 Video of The Year (Little Bit of Red) and 2013 Adult Alternative Album of The Year. Her two previous albums, If Your Memory Serves You Well (2007) and Is it O.K. (2009) as well as the 2012 single “Weak In The Knees” all achieved Gold Certification.

Get ready for a great show!

SATURDAY’S LINEUP JULY 16, 2016

#wildmtnmusic

Chad Vangaalen

Carolyn Mark From Sicamous, British Columbia, Carolyn Mark has built a career on her strong vocals and great songwriting. Last year she hopped on to the stage with NQ Arbuckle for a couple of tunes and lit the crowd up. In 2016 we are pleased to have Carolyn Mark join us for the whole show.

Vangaalen is a creative musician, constantly experimenting with his instruments and with his voice. Another local son, Vangaalen hails from Calgary, but toured extensively, establishing himself as a sought after performer.

Lindi Ortega The Hearts Their sound combines retro-pop, folk rock and electronica, yet in all its flash, it remains honest and straightforward, with the ‘heart’ standing out in the mix. The pride of Edmonton, Alberta, The Hearts are another fabulous performer from the Alberta music scene.

Great songs, a truly magnificent voice and a wholesome performer, Ortega is the whole package. Traditional country and some southern influences invade her most recent writing.

Lindi Ortega is so natural on the stage and her band is hot as a pistol!

The students from Mountain View School are fundraising for a trip to Quebec.

Keep your bottles available in your campsite and the kids will be through on Saturday and Sunday morning to pick them up. This keeps your campsite clean, the Entrance Ranch clean and sends these kids on a great learning experience. The kids will be wearing ‘accreditation’ cards, watch for them.

You’ll find it all

at Parks West Mall.

SATURDAY’S LINEUP JULY 16, 2016

#wildmtnmusic

Russell deCarle Trio Miss Quincy & The Showdown Miss Quincy brings a full-speed performance every time she climbs on the stage. After spending the winter in Toronto, Los Angeles and Melbourne the band is inspired to showcase new songs and hit the long hard roads of the Canadian tour trail. They will turn out the lights on Saturday night ... don’t miss it.

NQ Arbuckle OQO

Each year we bring the crowd favourite from the previous year. This year it is NQ Arbuckle. The toughest act of any day is closing down the show. Last year NQ Arbuckle killed it closing out our alt-Country Friday and they are back with a key time slot on Saturday. NQ Arbuckle has earned a solid reputation for the quality of their live performance; you won’t want to miss the band this year!

Tequila Mockingbird Orchestra is a favourite in this area generally and of Wild Mountain in particular. OQO is a logical extension of the TMO as their accordionist, violinist and bassist join together for a very contemporary take on the very traditional.

Stretch your wings!

The Rural Alberta Advantage The Rural Alberta Advantage (RAA) is a trio from Ontario that has been tearing up the Canadian festival scene for the past several years. Wild Mountain has tried to sign them before, but this is the year and they will join a very strong Saturday lineup.

As lead vocalist and bassist of iconic Canadian country roots band Prairie Oyster, deCarle is no stranger to awards and accolades. Over their career the 2008 CCMA Hall of Honour inductees have racked up an impressive list of JUNO and Canadian Country Music Awards, gold and platinum selling records and number one singles. As a songwriter deCarle has also been honoured with two SOCAN Song of the Year Awards. When you can get a legend to come to the show, it’s always a good thing.

2016 Wild Mountain Mashup Finalists: Big Wad Smaug (Saturday)

A band of local musicians, Adam Renard, Nick Sweet, Kahlil Wright, Anthony Land and Todd Sweet. When Adam returned from traveling and coming out of his shell as a guitar player and singer, he gathered together friends to play music.

Sue Fitzsimmons (Saturday)

Ryan Michael

Peter Puffin Wild Mountain has always been family friendly and on Saturday we open the performance at 10 am with Peter Lenton, aka Peter Puffin’s Whale Tales.

SUNDAY’S HEADLINER JULY 17, 2016

#wildmtnmusic

Wild Mountain has had some really iconic performers grace our stage, but we can’t wait to have Buffy perform for you. She has a couple of dates in Alberta, but the rest are solo gigs. Wild Mountain is getting Buffy with her full band and if you have spent any time with the new recording, you’ll know they can turn it up and turn it on.

Buffy has been garnering stellar reviews, so don’t miss the performance!

Perhaps you know Sainte-Marie from her 1960s protest anthems, to incendiary powwow rock, or the juggernaut pop hit “Up Where We Belong,” which Sainte-Marie co-wrote with Joe Cocker.

One of her earliest classics, “Cod’ine,” a harrowing account of addiction well ahead of its time, was covered by everyone from Janis Joplin to Donovan to Courtney Love. Every song and every era has revealed new and distinctive shades of an artist revered for her pioneering and chameleon ways right down to Power in the Blood, her 2015 recording which won a Polaris Award and two Junos. This is in addition to her many Honorary Doctorates, an Academy Award, Governor General Award, membership in the Canadian Country Music Hall of Fame and the Juno Hall of Fame and an Officer of the Order of Canada. Not bad for a gal from the Piapot Reserve in Saskatchewan ... Welcome home, Buffy.

SUNDAY’S LINE-UP JULY 17, 2016

#wildmtnmusic

Old Man Luedecke

Digging Roots JUNO Award winning, genreblurring, indie roots innovators Digging Roots is one of the highlights on this really special Sunday afternoon. They confidently blend roots and blues with a nomadic wanderlust into other melodic terrain.

Digging Roots are an obvious choice on our aboriginal influenced Sunday.

One of the most wholesome performers that you will ever experience.

His songs are soulful and about life in Canada, particularly the Maritimes.

Luedecke can be rhythmic and silly or sparse and bluesy and he can write a ripper. Old Man Luedecke has played locally in the past, but we are so pleased to add him to our Sunday line-up!

The Leigh Friesen Band Laura Vinson & Free Spirit With 30 years in the music business, Laura has been involved in many musical projects, but recently she and her band brought a Native influenced performance to the stages of Europe and North America and now we get it all at Wild Mountain!

Leigh is an old friend and musician who has booked his time on the road honing his craft. Leigh’s songwriting brings influences from roots, blues, rock & country.

More than once, Leigh’s songs have torn at our hearts. He is a soulful storyteller and is lucky to have lived a life with stories to tell.

Twin Peaks Rich harmonies, a piano, a guitar, two ukuleles and unlimited wit are at the heart of Twin Peaks – an emerging folk/roots with undertones of classic country and contemporary roots.

It is eclectic, creative and clever. Born and raised in the northern BC city of Fort St. John, their music reflects small town wisdom with lively humour and songs that immediately capture an audience.

WILD MOUNTAIN MUSIC FESTIVAL 2016

WE LOVE OUR VOLUNTEERS #wildmtnmusic

WE COULDN’T DO IT WITHOUT YOU...

& WOULDN’T WANT TO!

Our community should be proud to bring such a high-quality event to this region. We all benefit by having better access to live music throughout the year, especially at Wild Mountain. The festival is good for our regional economy, as we attract thousands from elsewhere to come enjoy the Wild Mountain experience and spend some of their money.

Wild Mountain is the largest 100% volunteer-run music festival in Canada. In 2014, by the time Blue Rodeo played on Saturday, 208 volunteers had been involved in ensuring our audience had the best experience possible. That’s a great deal of community pride and effort.

Each year you cook, clean, plan, build, paint, swab and lift Wild Mountain into existence. Thank you for everything you do, for the smiles and the great ideas in making this magic happen every year.

The Wild Mountain Music Festival Organizing Committee, We are so proud to be associated with Wild Mountain and the hundreds of volunteers that make it happen every year; thank-you for everything!
