Jon Rains
“Hailing from Lunenburg county, Nova Scotia, Jon Rains delivers a mixture of dark folk and traditional country music reminiscent of days gone by”.
Sam Wentzell

In 2021 Sam released his debut solo EP “Hard Times and Dangerous Women.” When he is not performing with the band or solo as a blues artist Sam teaches guitar and ukulele lessons and is a cigar box guitar enthusiast.
MO GAVE
A child of immigrants, Mo grew up in Nova Scotia and spent decades in Quebec, weaving much of those cultures into his own. Diverse jobs have included fisherman, stevedore, labourer, farmer, social worker and teacher, giving him a wide range of insight into human experience. His many musical influences include Leonard Cohen, Kurt Weill, and a lot of the greats of the blues and folk traditions. In his childhood, classical and country music also played constantly in the background. These musical influences, combined with Mo’s diverse background and experience, have helped him create songs with rich and meaningful lyrics that resonate with personal experiences of everyday people.
Steve Dicks
Born n raised here on the south shore of Nova Scotia . I grew up running the back woods of Nova Scotia. Cut from pure Newfoundland stock on both sides,I have a deep admiration for my maritime culture and history.Music to me is , a expression , history , a way to convene a message , tell a story , show love & emotion when traditional ways fail. Music can unite people to one common bond.I believe music can build personal strength , character , and can heal the mind and body .It is my belief that when a song is sung the person projecting it releases that song into the universe where it remains forevermore .I believe we are not in control in choosing what our musical interest are ,but it is our soul that is responsible for connecting us and drawing the music to us .I never realized I had a musical bone in my body until just a few short years ago , for me performing music is a journey , and I’m just along for the ride …..
