Willie Nile
Willie Nile is a veteran New York street poet and indie troubadour who came out of the late 70’s punk/new wave scene to become a prolific, third act showstopping musician.
He is the rocker’s rocker with a heavy dose of hall of fame fans while his band is a trigger tight four piece who have toured with Joan Jett, Blondie, the Ramones and Hank Williams 3. Together they put on a real deal rock show that puts you right back in CBGB’s.
David Gogo
David Gogo is the guitarslinger from Nanaimo who was blessed by Stevie Ray Vaughan as a teenager and dedicated his life to rockin’ the blues like his hero.
30 years later he has been nominated for 6 Junos, won multiple Maple Blues Awards, opened for ZZ Top, The Hip, Foreigner, Buddy Guy and Johnny Winter; touring the world with his fierce blend of blues, rock and soul all punctuated by sizzling hot guitar playing.
Stephen Stanley (with Chris Bennett)
Stephen Stanley came to fame as the lead singer and songwriter for the Lowest of the Low out of Toronto in the 90’s indie scene. Since then he has continued to build his skills as a performer, guitarist, vocalist and writer playing with a host of top T.O. talent while building his solo career playing with Chris Bennet.
