We are excited to welcome back the young & talented Edward Pimm to the Cowboy Gathering. As a young Alberta country musician (13) Edward is getting some serious attention. At the age of 10 he was honored by Alberta’s Men of Country Music when he receive their Rising Star award.

He is currently being mentored by the prestigious Global Country Canada. Through this organization, he has been provided opportunities to perform in a variety of settings. He participated at a Canadian Country Music Association showcase as well as at the recent Alberta Country Awards weekend in Calgary.

Edward plays classic country and enjoys every opportunity to share his talent, whether it be with Edmonton-based band Trick Ryder or doing solo performances for the folks in his hometown of Mayerthorpe, Alberta.

Calvin Vollrath (Canadian Fiddler) is a musical prodigy. To date, he has composed near 700 tunes, many of which have become standard contest and dance tunes across North America & Europe. His influence in the fiddle world is very evident. He has to his credit, 72 of his own albums, numerous music books of his original compositions and an instructional DVD. Calvin was commissioned to compose 5 fiddle tunes for the Vancouver Winter Olympics 2010 Opening Ceremonies to represent the various styles of fiddling our country has to offer. He also wrote the theme for the international fiddle convention “Fiddles of the World”, held in Halifax NS in July 1999. When Calvin writes a tune for an individual, a place or an event, he has an uncanny sense of capturing their personality or expressing its atmosphere.

Calvin is a world-class fiddler and represents Alberta and Canada internationally. Since his participation at the 2000 World Music Expo (WOMEX) in Berlin Germany, Calvin has toured several European countries. He also served as musical director for Hank Smith’s band on his European tour from 1994-1996. In July 2006, Calvin was selected as one of 10 performers to represent Alberta at the Smithsonian Folklife Festival in Washington DC.

Calvin has recorded with the likes of Ian Tyson, Colleen Peterson & Laura Vinson to name a few and is still in demand as a studio musician for various Canadian artists and film and television productions. Calvin has appeared on many television shows including CTV’s “Sun Country”, CTV’s “Number I West” and was musical director for CBC’s “Native Nashville North”. CBC’s “Adrienne Clarkson Presents” aired a documentary on Métis fiddle music featuring Calvin Vollrath and John Arcand.

Russell’s music is a mix of southern soul and restrained balladry, with obvious touches of jazz, blues, old-school country, and western swing.It may surprise...

We are excited to have Russell deCarle performing! But you are alone in this crowd, along with the singer Russell deCarle. Like him — and his music — you are holding it together with equal measures of heartbreak and hope.

It may surprise those who remember Russell deCarle as the lead vocalist and bassist of the iconic Canadian country roots band Prairie Oyster. He is no stranger to awards and accolades — his “Oyster years” were rewarded with six Juno Awards, more than a dozen Canadian Country Music Awards and enough gold and platinum records and #1 singles to fill a living room wall.

The truth is, though, that Prairie Oyster was always more than a “country” band, and deCarle’s warm, burnished and intimate voice has always honoured an eclectic range of songs.

True to form, Alone in this Crowd offers a fluent collection of songs that mix southern soul and restrained balladry, with obvious touches of jazz, blues, old-school country, and western swing.

Over years guitarist, writer and singer Nathan Tinkham has built himself a reputation as one of the finest country music collaborators in the west,” wrote Peter North in the Edmonton Journal.

Since the early 70s, he has been known for his songs and inventive guitar playing with Ian Tyson, The Great Western Orchestra, Cindy Church and Quartette. Raised on the west coast, he was drawn to the cowboy ways of Alberta, and as it turned out, Alberta was drawn to him. The western guitarist of choice, Nathan has shared the careers of many of Canada’s finest in his role as guitar man, all the while listening, learning and writing. He has had songs covered by Cindy Church, Quartette, Bill and Bonnie Hearne, Melanie, the Pointer Brothers, the Sheep River Rounders and others.

When you hear a Nathan Tinkham song, you may be meeting remarkable people, hearing the dark inside of a breaking heart, feeling the dusty heat of the desert, or listening to the courage of honesty. It takes all kinds of people and places to make the world go ’round, and Nathan has woven the lives he’s encountered and the places he’s been into small, but powerful stories in song.
