From rocking Halifax’s Marquee Club to performing for the masses at Massey Hall or touring the country with his father, Joel Plaskett has forged a reputation as one of Canada’s most engaging performers and respected singer-songwriters.

Plaskett’s songs are a perennial part of the national playlist, a fixture on “best of” lists, and the soundtrack to the lives of faithful fans across the country and around the world. His accolades over a quarter century include a Juno, numerous East Coast Music, Canadian Folk and Music Nova Scotia awards, and two Polaris short list nominations.

Plaskett began his musical career in the early 1990s as a member of alt-rock favorites Thrush Hermit, recruiting lifelong fans as the band toured North America in a half-size school bus, setting up their signature neon ROCK & ROLL sign from show to show.

In the early 2000s, Plaskett started touring under his own name with his band, The Emergency (featuring Dave Marsh on drums since 1999, and for the last 14 years, Chris Pennell on bass). Backed by the Emergency and racking up a growing roster of anthemic singalongs, Plaskett worked his way up from small clubs to opening for Paul McCartney and the Tragically Hip and filling larger venues with his own devoted audience.

Plaskett is a versatile and ever-evolving artist, at turns delivering intimate and idiosyncratic singer-songwriter fare (In Need of Medical Attention, La De Da, The Park Avenue Sobriety Test); incendiary riff-rock (Down at the Khyber, Truthfully, Truthfully), left-leaning folk rock (Solidarity), as well as conceptual epics and off-kilter feats of musical stamina (Ashtray Rock, Three, Scrappy Happiness, 44).

Recorded to analog tape, Plaskett’s records reflect his attention to detail, his dedication to technique, musical history and craft, and a sincere and inimitable lyrical style that runs through his diverse and ever-expanding catalogue.

In addition to producing most of his own records since 1999, Plaskett has also set up shop behind the console at his New Scotland Yard studio in downtown Dartmouth, N.S. His work with artists like Jimmy Rankin, Two Hours Traffic, David Myles, Sarah Slean, Shotgun Jimmie, Dennis Ellsworth, Old Man Luedecke, Dave Marsh, Colleen Brown and longtime collaborator Mo Kenney has led to numerous awards for production and turned New Scotland Yard into a popular destination for artists looking to develop and document their sound.

In front of the studio is The New Scotland Yard Emporium, where Plaskett has partnered with Halifax mainstay Taz Records to bring a curated selection of records to his adopted hometown, providing a spot where music fans can congregate to grab a coffee or beer while they dig for records.

In a world increasingly connected—and disconnected — by digital mediums, Joel Plaskett prefers to make his connections the old-fashioned way, building community at his studio and shop, dedicating himself to the art and authenticity of songwriting and analog recording processes, and moving audiences with the electrifying, uplifting experience of live performance.

In all aspects of his work, Plaskett embraces both the communal and individual experiences music provides. The ways music and words combine to connect with the listener, turning a minute into a moment out of time, reminding us that we aren’t alone.

Ron Sexsmith is a three time Juno award winning songwriter from Canada. He has written and recorded seventeen acclaimed albums of original songs beginning with his self titled debut in 1995 up to his most recent ‘The Vivian Line’ in 2023.

Ron has toured the world many times over performing in such prestigious venues as Massey Hall, Carnegie Hall and London’s Royal Albert Hall.

A child of melody, his music has been described as a hybrid of Canadian folk heroes such as Gordon Lightfoot and Leonard Cohen mingled with that of The Kinks, Beatles and other British invasion acts of his formative years.

His songs have been covered by many revered artists such as Rod Stewart, kd Lang, Emmylou Harris, Michael Buble, Feist and Elvis Costello to name only a few.

“Sexsmith is a (Canadian) songwriter with a gift for an instantly seductive pop/folk/rock melody, a facile way with a lyrical narrative and the ability to produce really charming and sometimes deeply poignant turns-of-phrase” - THE CINCH REVIEW

“When Sexsmith sings, he rarely places a note squarely on the beat. He eases into it a little ahead of time, or hesitates and lets it drift in late like a wallflower trying to slip into a party unnoticed” - John Pareles THE NEW YORK TIMES

"Melody remains the convulsive life-giving heart.You lose that, a tune withers facedown. Ron Sexsmith understands this point better than most every singer/songwriter working today” - Jason Killingsworth PASTE

“Sexsmith has an incredible gift for pop melodies, and his voice is an unassuming croon that slides up and down to notes with graceful ease. He also just doesn't strum the guitar, he makes it sing. In short, he's an endangered species” - Marshall York SALON

RIAA Platinum-certified artist, Forest Blakk has spent his career soundtracking love stories of all kinds, including "I Choose You" — which arrived just days after his very own Nashville wedding to Tooley Jones in a beautiful ceremony covered exclusively by PEOPLE Magazine.

Blakk's new music follows last year's intimate and relatable Every Little Detail EP, featuring his breakout Platinum-certified smash single "If You Love Her," which alone has amassed over 450 million total global streams, earned Blakk his oRicial US chart debut on Billboard's Emerging Artists chart, his national US TV debut on ABC's Live with Kelly & Ryan, top 30 placement on the Hot AC radio chart & saw the singer/songwriter collaborate with Meghan Trainor on a stunning duet version. Meanwhile, Blakk's follow-up single "Fall Into Me" (co-written alongside Matchbox Twenty front man Rob Thomas and Gregg Wattenberg) reached top 30 on the Hot AC radio chart and Gold-certification status in his native Canada, in addition to being featured in a perfectly fitting ad campaign for Kay Jewelers. His songs have also become a staple of Netflix's hit show Love is Blind — having been named the "patron saint" of the show by creators with the Los Angeles Times pointing out "(Blakk's) earnest mid-tempo love songs turn up on 'Love is Blind' nearly as often as hosts Nick and Vanessa Lachey."

Highlighted as one of PEOPLE Magazine's "talented emerging artists making their mark on the musical landscape" and deemed an "artist on the rise" by Billboard, Blakk made his debut with his 2018 EP Minutes and follow-up 2020 sophomore EP Sideways — the latter of which saw Blakk collaborate with the likes of Will IDAP (Train, Florida Georgia Line), Nick Long (King Princess), Carl Ryden (Ricky Martin, David Guetta), Ollie Green (Freya Ridings, Gavin James) & more to tell a love story through an incredibly realistic and candid lens. The 6-track collection featured singles "I Wish I Knew" (deemed an "introspective look at love and love lost" by American Songwriter) and uplifting anthem of resilience "Put Your Hands Up," which debuted on an episode of ABC's Grey's Anatomy. A compelling live performer, Blakk has toured extensively supporting NEEDTOBREATHE, Gavin James, Dean Lewis & earlier this year embarked on a sold out 17-date North American headline tour.

ANDREW JOHNS
Do what you LOVE! You’ll do it WELL! And when you do something well, you’ll always be rewarded for it. These are the words Andrew Johns lives by. The “one man band” man who always gives more than is expected “loves” what he does, and it shows. This world traveler brings his energy, commitment and reliability to every event he plays no matter what, no matter where and no matter with who! He’s performed with Alex Lifeson (RUSH) Tommy Thayer (KISS) Don Felder (Eagles) Robbie Krieger (DOORS) and of course Alice Cooper every year for his golf charity. Andrew brings his unique style of performance and humor and takes the audience on a gradual ride through the ages of music. From Victor Borge styled classical all the way to the latest pop hits and everything in between. Ask his clients who he compares to, and they say “no one”. There’s no one like Andrew Johns for variety, spontaneousness, great sound and performance and reliability. Andrew is the consummate performer who personifies professionalism and pure talent.

Andrew loves to make people smile, invoke emotion through his cover tunes, impersonations, or the odd original song mixed in. His Elton John impersonation is one of the best in the world right now and with the retirement of Sir Elton the demand for this will only grow. His new Elton John tribute band “The Yellow Brick Road Experience” is actually what takes up most of Andrew’s time these days and it’s just picking up steam. With massively successful shows already in the Okanagan and tours planned overseas including Dubai, UK and Australia this band of talented pros has no foreseeable limits. Also, he is writing the 4th Boulevard album with co-writer Mark Holden at Bryan Adams studio in Vancouver. The band had major success in the 80s touring with Glass Tiger and Boston and have now teamed up with world class producer Garth Richardson for this next foray.

Andrew believes as Wayne Dyer once said, “all we can do with our life is give it away” and Andrew gives more than almost any other performer with his time, charity (annually with Alice Cooper for example) and effort in his performance. You will definitely get MORE THAN EXPECTED every time with Andrew Johns!

RYAN DONN
Our opening performer is a local resident, Scottish Canadian Singer/Songwriter, Ryan Donn. His songs have been featured on radio stations throughout the Okanagan including original singles “In this life”, “There for you”, and “Yeah Yeah”.

Reflecting on the richness of life, and the wide-ranging spectrum of emotions that surface from moment to moment is the spiritual focus of the latest, Juno-nominated album from one of Canada’s most accomplished and harmonious trios – Good Lovelies.

Musically, Juno nominated We Will Never Be the Same hearkens back to the band’s acoustic, rootsy beginnings 17 years ago. Lyrically, the songs created by the Juno Award-winning ensemble of Kerri Ough, Sue Passmore and Caroline Marie Brooks are as compelling as the dynamic and engaging vocal harmonies for which the group is known as they mine the complex feelings experienced by women who have come to ponder some of the big questions of life.

The resulting collection of songs strikes a tone of hopefulness, steadfastness, and perseverance, even when enduring moments of tribulation and even despair. Songs such as Young at Heart, Tip to Toe and Keep Moving bring to bear the sometimes-conflicting emotions encountered on each songwriter’s personal life journey but expressed in ways that have profound meaning for anyone listening to them.

It is an admirable and desirable addition to their widely acclaimed musical catalogue which already includes four full-length studio albums, two enchanting Christmas releases, three EPs, and a live album. We Will Never Be the Same was crafted during a time when the Good Lovelies could not tour, which has been a staple of their careers, bringing them to concert venues throughout Canada and the U.S. as well as to the stages around the globe from the U.K. and Europe to Australia.

Much of the writing for We Will Never Be the Same took place during a productive and illuminating retreat in rural Nova Scotia, working closely with the production team of Joshua Van Tassel and Christine Bougie (who also both performed on the album) resulting in one of the most collaborative albums in the band’s tenure.

The heaviness of some of the subject matter is more than overshadowed by the exquisite beauty of the compositions and the stellar, powerfully deep and resonant vocal performances that elevate not only the tone, but the hearts and spirits of the listener.

We Will Never Be the Same is both a return to a more elemental, acoustic-based musical platform reaching back to the early days of the Good Lovelies, as well as an immersive emotional experience crafted by three songwriters who bring their own real-life stories in all their dynamism and messy complexity to the fore.

It is a testament not only to their artistry, but also their humanity, and is an album that will continue to endear this beloved group to fans of all ages.

Many Canadians recognize the name Steve Patterson. He’s been a crowd favorite since his first Just for Laughs Gala appearance back in 2004 and as host of the long-running hit show The Debaters on CBC since 2007.

But what they may not know is how Patterson’s perceptions have shifted since he became a dad to two precocious daughters. Those new perceptions are on grand display in his new show which picks up on the themes introduced in his popular book published by Penguin Random House Canada in 2021 “Dad Up!” From being outsmarted to being outrun to being outnumbered (current household rankings have him clinging to 6th place in importance behind his wife, his daughters, their dog, and whichever stuffed animal is most essential in any given
week), Steve struggles to come to terms with the responsibilities of being a dad. But fortunately for audiences, his struggles are pure comedic delight. Come join this iconic Canadian comedian on a 90-minute fun ride that will warm your heart, rekindle memories, and maybe most importantly, will get you out of the house and laughing with strangers. Which, really, is the best gift families can give to each other.

The Cruzeros have come out of retirement to celebrate their recent induction into the BC Country Music Hall of Fame. From the late 1990’s through to their last tour in 2008, this Kelowna based band held a brilliant musical legacy nationally and abroad. Their three independently launched albums spawned 20 Top Forty hits on the national radio charts, eight videos on CMT, radio and internet airplay in USA, Europe and Australia, and command performances at innumerable concerts, festivals, and events. The band gathered a host of award citations, including a Juno nomination for Country Group of the Year, a Canadian Indy for Country Album of the Year, BC Country Music Association Awards for Group, Songwriter, and Album of the Year, and Canadian Country Music Association All-Star Band Awards for Special Instrumentalist of the Year.

The Cruzeros were formed by Barry Mathers and Curtis Tulman in 1985 under the name Sea Cruise which played top forty cover tunes and rapidly became popular on the pub and nightclub circuit in the BC Interior. They began writing and recording their own songs later that year. and for the next decade home-produced singles were played on local radio and television through videos produced by the BC Music Project. The band went on a tour of Mexico, and subsequently changed the name to The Cruzeros.

In 1995 the band received funding through FACTOR to produce an album, which they did with Vancouver producer Bill Buckingham. The self-titled album was released to radio in 1996 and its success earned them a 1997 JUNO nomination for Country Group of the Year. The rest is history.

Their concert lineup includes main songwriter and lead vocalist Barry Mathers on guitar and mandolin, Curtis Tulman on vocals, guitar, harmonica and saxophone, JUNO nominee Rachel Matkin on vocals and mandolin, Jim Ryan on vocals, bass and keyboards, Jay Swetlishoff on drums and Scott Thielmann on lead guitar.

The concert at Creekside Theatre will in part be dedicated to the memory of guitarist and long-time Cruzero Gary Smyth, who recently passed away and is dearly missed.

Vancouver soul dynamo Dawn Pemberton has a deep musical foundation rooted in tradition. Dawn spent her formative years surrounded by a family of multi–instrumentalists and developed a true love of music as a young girl. In addition to regularly collaborating on the projects of her peers and having an educated background in jazz voice and piano, Dawn is a talented and passionate songwriter in her own right. A staple of the West Coast music scene, Dawn can be found tearing it up as a vocalist, arranger, and go-to for live performances and studio sessions.

Dawn is heavily influenced by rhythm. She is drawn to the percolating under current of soul–jazz and funk which is infused in everything that she does: "I’ve got a rhythmic stream running through me at all times. It’s all about the groove for me." On leadoff single ‘Deeper’ soulful grooves meet swirling organs, punchy horns, and tight drum breaks that pay homage to Dawn’s roots in gospel but update the sound with a feel all her own.
