Lawson Kelly & Longwood Brewery Tap Takeover
Based in the Cowichan Valley, the west coast duo Lawson Kelly began early 2012 carving out the sound that they would eventually be recognized for. It a bit of outlaw country, old time bluegrass, upbeat Celtic, without ever leaving the west coast. You can expect a lively entertaining set condensing a wide variety of genres, and musical eras into swell-know covers and original music.

Ornery - Vancouver/Gulf Islands
Somber yet steady, bitter yet loving, vengeful yet.... nope just vengeful. Ornery tells tales of struggle, survival, support, and self-improvement in a bitter country style that is cheesy enough to be familiar, yet. rugged enough to be new and exciting.

Robbie Hancock Duo
Robbie's warm, husky voice evokes a long warm evening by a fireside. Time slows down as he paints lyric pictures of love lost and found again. There's a hint of indie folk, singer/songwriter in his acoustic tracks and memorable refrain lines. Robbie is an artist finding his way through life and love, sharing his journey in his songs.
