The Higgins

Kathleen, Eileen and John Higgins are a riveting new group from the West Coast of Canada. Their music is contemporary country seasoned with styles ranging from roots and classic rock, to Celtic. Their sound is melodic and edgy, echoing the rich musical era of the 60’s and 70’s. The Higgins' influences are powerful and diverse - ranging from Crosby, Stills and Nash, Fleetwood Mac, Emmylou Harris and The Doobie Brothers, to Stevie Ray Vaughan, and traditional Irish music.

The Road Hammers

The Road Hammers are a five piece no-nonsense, impressive mix of Country, Southern Rock and Blues singing songs of maverick culture and the open road. The band is the brainchild of Jason McCoy, the 2004 Canadian Country Music Association Male Vocalist of The Year. The idea was born out of Jason's desire to develop a new project where he could sing a style of music which formed him as an artist, while paying tribute to the men and women who call the highways of the world their home.

Jason found kindred spirits in Alberta's Clayton Bellamy whose rough n' ready vocals provide the soulful fuel that kicks the Hammers into overdrive and Chris Byrne whose smooth high harmonies and solid bass lines are both the foundation and finishing touches which define the distinctive sound that is The Road Hammers.

The band has recorded a charged mix of truckin' classics and new originals. Songs like "Girl On The Billboard", "East Bound and Down", and Little Feat's classic "Willin", find a new and vibrant life along side infectious fresh tunes like "Overdrive", "Keep On Truckin" and the autobiographical flagship anthem "I'm A Road Hammer". With songs that explore the universal themes of losin', lovin 'and livin' -all delivered in an amazingly fierce package - this fleet of melodic mayhem will haul in music fans across the country with its appeal! This is the definitive and ultimate driving album.

Prairie Oyster

Their eighth record, One Kiss, is the sound of life-long friends getting together to make music for all the right reasons. It’s relaxed, intimate and as comfortable as your favourite woolen sweater – mirroring the creative environment established by the group. This is the first fully self-produced Prairie Oyster album and they clearly thrived on this challenge.

Prairie Oyster has won numerous awards from the Canadian Country Music Association, and 5 JUNO Awards as Country Group of the Year. Their hit singles include "Did You Fall In Love," "One Precious Love," "Everybody Knows," "Only One Moon" and "Don't Cry Little Angel." In addition to these, the album Blue Plate Special, released in 1996, featured the radio hits "Unbelievable Love" and "One Way Track."
