SUMMARY:MISERY MOUNTAIN BOYS
DESCRIPTION:You might hear the tunes of the Misery Mountain Boys drifting from behind a rotating bookcase of a 1930’s speakeasy. Harkening back to a simpler time\, the MMB’s create a soundscape infused with tongue in cheek wit\, playfulness\, and nostalgia. The band’s performance delivers as both classic and fresh\, offering a generous variety of sweaty jazz numbers\, velvety love songs\, and swingin’ jump-blues. “With the release of the Misery Mountain Boys fourth album\, Somebody Stole My Peaches (2025)\, this feisty and focused group continues to establish itself as a top drawer example of a retro-cool roots group. Fuelled by a big bouquet of sounds\, some of the group’s musical touchstones have been in the wind for a century\, while others are of a homemade variety that have enabled this quintet to create a recognizable spin on classic feels.” – Peter North “The Misery Mountain Boys have truly created a sound all their own — playful\, energetic\, melodic\, fun- loving\, and toe-tapping. With their groovin’ musical sophistication and whip-smart song- writing\, this is a band that can win over any audience\, of any age — from punk rockers to devotees of old-time country\, jazz\, and blues.” – Grant Stovel (CKUA Radio)

SUMMARY:Sunday Sessions - Oostie & Mitch Lewis Trio
DESCRIPTION:The Oostie & Mitch Lewis Trio delivers a high-energy blend of classic blues\, folk\, and rock\, with just the right amount of humour woven in.
