Sean Ashby
w/Anne Vriend

Chances are, if you've had a radio on today you've heard his guitar playing. As one of North America's go-to guitarists, Sean has played and recorded with Sarah McLachlan since 1996 , Delerium, Wild Strawberries, Ginger (former Grapes Of Wrath),and many more.

Ashby, formerly of Vancouver and now based in Toronto is a singer/songwriter/guitarist/producer

As a guitarist, Ashby has appeared on the Grammy Awards twice, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno five times, SNL and David Letterman three times, along with other major TV shows and four motion pictures. Sean's guitar playing has appeared on cd's with sales in excess of 10 million copies worldwide... so far. As a solo artist his goals are not quite so lofty. When asked about his hopes for this album and his solo future Sean says "I am working at building an audience for my music, playing shows and improving as a songwriter and performer."


Ann Vriend: "The Aretha Franklin of Americana"

“With her soaring vocals, impressive song-writing ability, and instrumental prowess, Vriend is truly an all-in-one package." – Obscure Sound, NYC

the f - holes are:
Patrick Alexandre: Vocals, String Bass, Harmonica, guitar
Eric Lemoine: Banjo, Pedal Steel, Resonator, Electric Bass, Vocals
Blake Thomson: Guitar, Vocals, Sax
James McKee: Trumpet/Cornet, Euphonium, Vocals
Evan Friesen: Drums

If you're determined to avoid being confined by any one genre, invent your own. “And now for something completely different” might be the appropriate rally cry for this Winnipeg conglomerate that is rewriting the definition of roots music.

Over-the-top vocals meet pedal steel, blistering horns, banjo and fiddle to create this campy, slightly twisted take on country, blues, Dixieland, klezmer and anything that piques their interest, apparently. With music that would be at home on an off-Broadway stage
