COLIN WEEKS + GUESTS // RAILWAY STAGE & BEER CAFÉ

From the West Coast of Canada, Colin Weeks breathes warmth and soul into simple, laid back pop songs. He weaves the showmanship of legendary crooners Harry Belafonte and Louis Prima with the candour and coolness of Jack Johnson and Bahamas. On the quest for feel-good freedom and a steady paycheque, Colin inches along towards musical heaven (somewhere near Hawaii) where he will make his eternal mark on the universe.

 

Sola (Vancouver) // https://www.solamusicsoul.com

Adriana started expressing herself early in her childhood years by standing on a chair singing about butterfly's and flowers while her Mom would make dinner . She continued following her voice well into her teens by singing in her bedroom to artists that inspired her such as Alicia Keys, Christina Aguilara and Lauryn Hill. By 19 she started playing guitar and by 23 started writing her own songs. Her vision to be a singer led her to come to Vancouver, BC and study Audio Engineering where she met other fellow musicians that kept the creative fire burning by delving into blues, soul and rnb genres. Her biggest inspirations being Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings and Amy Winehouse she has shaped her sound to be a blend of jazz, RnB and soul styling's. With this new inspiration to sing soul music Adriana and guitar player Will Lloyd started MudFunk in 2014.

Her songwriting started to take shape as she became the main lyricist and front woman for soul and funk inspired band MudFunk. MudFunk released an EP in February 2018 and is constantly on the move performing in Vancouver, interior BC and the island.

SOLA was created as a additional outlet for feeding Adriana's creativity which has hit the ground running in June 2018. Bringing her experience of fronting a 9 piece band for the past 4 years and her thought and feeling provoking lyrics, she is looking forward to continuing this momentum forward with this project by releasing an EP early 2019 and collaborating with other artists. 

The Lone Palms (Vancouver) // https://thelonepalms.bandcamp.com // https://www.facebook.com/TheLonePalms/

Who knew the nexus of Boston and rural places in Manitoba and England is Vancouver, Canada. Yes. That is absurd, but can a group of musical weirdos like the Lone Palms be wrong about anything?

Alex Cooper, Dave Comrie, Dan Cerino and Stacy Mack draw from a mutual love of the carefree, cross-country drawl of artists like Neil Young, America and the Eagles, while loving to take a dip in the ink of such varied and frenetic artists as E.L.O, The Creation, Queens of the Stone Age and Ben Caplan.

Having formed their musical identities through years of session work, drunken jams, broken bands and the quest for the ultimate good times playlist, you can expect an eclectic, rock forward, sea-shanty of a show. Don't worry though, this pare an emotionally available group of fellas -- they'd love to hear how your day is going. Be sure sure to check out this rare, fine thing: a musical gumbo of grit, talent and emotion -- tied up in a bow of enthusiasm and love for the world of sound.

Tall trees on a musical desert island, indeed.
