The Host Band of the Festival will be perfoming on the main stage on Friday afternoon and playing for the Barn Dance, Saturday night in the Barn Dance Dance Hall.

The Barn Dance Sweethearts featuring, Rhonda Kunkel, Anne Steward and newcomer Mary-Ellen Goslin, will be back this year with a great big dose of classic country songs.

Four Chords of Wood are an energetic group of talented performers based on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada. Known for their love of hard driving Bluegrass music, FCoW's music comprises rich vocal harmonies and strong instrumental accompaniment. The members are all experienced performers grounded in stage presence and audience rapport. The group's professionalism and talent have brought numerous requests for appearances at clubs, private functions and public festivals.

Lizzy Hoyt is a Canadian fiddler, singer, songwriter and step-dancer from Edmonton, AB. This Canadian 'east-meets-west' performer combines the energetic and rhythmic fiddling from the maritimes with country-folk songs from the west. Lizzy is a gifted vocalist and musician whose music has been recognized on both the national and international level. Named "Best Female Artist" at the 8th International Acoustic Music Awards, she is also a Canadian Folk Music Award Nominee for Traditional Singer of the Year and has been named a finalist in both the John Lennon Songwriting Contest and the USA Songwriting Competition.

Michael Bridge is the 2010 5th place Laureate in the Junior World Championships for classical accordion and a seventeen year old bilingual musician from Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Still at a young age, his music has led him to Croatia, France, Italy; Las Vegas, Boston, Santa Clara and other parts of the USA. Notably, he has also performed with The Boston Pops, recorded two albums of his own compositions, and won 1st place at all major accordion festivals in western Canada.

The Flat Top Flyers hail from Calgary to Millarville to Claresholm and have traveled over Alberta playing
their music in various groups over the years.
As a group, The Flat top Flyers are new to the festival scene but have come from great
Bluegrass as well as Country, Celtic Folk and Jazz Backgrounds in music. These Guys have played together over the years and have now the opportunity to perform for you on stage. You will enjoy the Flyers as they play traditional songs as well as originals which you can hear on their CD’s.
Listen to Haunting Cowboy Celtic Bluegrass in an amazing setting of the Great Canadian Barn Dance.


Bob Williams  will be our open mic host and will be performing on the main stage on Saturday afternoon. Bob was born at Rocky Mountain House, Alberta, in 1948 to typical parents of the 40’s and 50’s, struggling to make a way of life for their family. Some of the earliest memories of his childhood centered around singing and playing music and it has never diminished. Today I have years of memories and friends to go along with them.
