Featuring:
Dustin Bentall hails from Vancouver and is the son of legendary Canadian Rocker Barney Bentall. Music is clearly part of his DNA. The cowboy influence you hear in Dustin’s music comes from his love for Gram Parsons and The Flying Burrito Brothers. Dustin will be performing with his partner, Victoria violinist, Kendel Carson. http://www.dustinbentall.com/

Kendel Carson was born in Calgary, Alberta and later moved to Victoria, British Columbia with her family at the age of 7. She is a singer, musician, and fiddler extraordinaire. Although classically trained, Carson’s musical passion lies in the folk, country and rock scenes – especially after her family moved out West. Kendel is a singer who’s both confident and coy, and a musician who’s technically gifted but spontaneous at heart. http://kendelcarson.com/

Warren Dean Flandez was born in Yellowknife, Northwest Territories but spent much of his childhood with extended family in Virginia Beach, Virginia, a hotbed for urban music. His family relocated to Edmonton, Alberta and then eventually settled in Vancouver, BC. With a sound as fresh as the present, and a voice reminiscent of the past, Warren can ease your soul and break your heart with a single note. His music style is an infectious blend of old school soul, edgy hip-hop and traditional R&B. His ability to mix genres has given him mass appeal that spans generations. http://www.warrendeanflandez.com/

Two-time Juno Award winner Steve Dawson is an indelible fixture on the Canadian music scene as a producer, musician and songwriter. Behind the organic flowing guitar work, the crisp arrangements, and the laconic singing voice, resides one of the brightest, hardest working musicians in the country. In addition to his own music, Steve has produced memorable albums by such luminaries as Jim Byrnes, Kelly Joe Phelps and The Sojourners. He also brought the award-winning Mississippi Sheiks Tribute Project to fruition featuring Madeleine Peyroux, Bruce Cockburn and John Hammond among others. http://www.stevedawson.ca/

David “Boxcar” Gates has a blues style that is drenched with bottleneck slides and alternate finger-picking. He accompanies himself on harmonica, mounted to a unique, homemade harp rack, constructed with bicycle and lampshade parts. The 29 year old talent is one of Canada’s up and coming blues stars. In January 2012, David was chosen to represent the White Rock Blues Society in the 2012 International Blues Challenge in the “Solo/Duo” category and made it to the semi-finals of the competition. http://davidboxcargates.ca/
