- Mar 26 - Al Foreman
"I've enjoyed entertaining for over forty years. I will be providing a mix of material ranging from blues and boogie woogie to ballads and original material. A career in Music therapy for the past 10 years has provided a great source of musical inspiration, and I look forward to sharing some of these stories and repertoire with your audience."
- Apr 9 - Pam Goessaert
A seasoned musician hailing from Northeast Coquitlam, Pam brings with her a collection of up and coming young musicians as well as her long standing bandmates. Her original tunes are a contemporary mix of folk/blues with a rock twist. Last season she was a sell out show. Pam's gutsy, dynamic vocals combined with strong harmonies and a great band will surely entertain you.
- Apr 23 - Steve Alexander
Steve plays many styles but is also a two-time Western Canada Championship bluegrass guitar player and a great songwriter. The hilarious "Let's Enjoy A Senior's Moment" has become the title track for two recent CD releases in Canada and the US. Don't miss this witty, thoughtful singer/songwriter!
- May 7 – Pancho and Sal
Born in Argentina, Pancho has been writing poems all his life. When he moved to Europe, he began touring in many countries and became a troubadour style musician in the 80’s in Sweden. With the Gypsies in the South of France, he created his new dimension of flamenco guitar and rhythms. After many years of musical exchange with other musicians, his music has a wide diversity of styles. Sal, who was born in England and raised in Canada, started playing accordion and clarinet at an early age. She met Pancho in Peru and compliments the music with accordion, shakers, chachas, bombo and guitar. Singing in Spanish, English and French, their music and translations inspire.
