The Musician this week is: Maple Creek

She’s a little bit country and he’s a little bit rock ’n roll. We’re not sure about the other one. Suffice it to say, the three members that make up Maple Creek each bring their own style and substance to the stage. And what results is a little bit of magic. Melodic finger-picking, a steady, funky bass and soul-lifting harmonies are the band’s trademarks. Playing a unique blend of mostly folky Americana and bluesy country-rock, the trio covers classics and lesser-known tunes from the past five decades. Far from your standard arrangements, Maple Creek takes each song and makes it their own. Expect to take pleasure in a sweet mix of soulful hits, playful toe-tappers and even sensual ballads, sprinkled with smart – occasionally sassy – repartee.

The Musician this week is: Michael Sigouin

I’m a singer-songwriter from the East Coast of Canada, acoustic guitar player singing a style of folky pop hits from the 60’s and onwards.

The Musician this week is: Norbury and Finch

Norbury & Finch is the eclectic and versatile folk duo of original songwriters, Judy Norbury and Joanna Finch. Playing together for more than 30 years, they have been delighting their audiences with their clever songwriting and beautiful harmonies at house concerts, cafes, music festivals and private functions.

The Musician this week is: Café Olé

Inspired by the beautiful musical traditions from Spain and Latin-America, Café Olé is a captivating and versatile West-coast-based duo that wields a power to transport audiences through time and place. Vocalist Brittany Christina Bowman from Vancouver Island, and guitarist Oscar Robles Diaz from Mexico met well over a decade ago in Mexico City and have been collaborating in music and in life ever since. Singing in Spanish, they accompany their voices with nylon-string guitar and rhythmic handclaps. The sound they create is heartfelt. It is the outcome of the pair’s respective and shared experiences and demonstrative of their profound respect and appreciation for a variety of Spanish and Latin music styles, each with strong regional ties yet the simultaneous capacity to transcend language and political borders. Café Olé’s single – La Tierra (The Earth) – draws rhythmically from the flamenco palo known as ‘Soleá por Bulerias’ – and lyrically is as much a call for the protection of the natural world as it is a loving and meditative reflection on interconnection.

Special Event: Food Fest
Chefs from the North Vancouver Island Culinary Association prepare and cook up in season products from the vendors. It is a great way to try something new or try a different take on an old favorite.

Last Wednesday Market of the season.

The Musician this week is: Fusion Moon

Fusion Moon performs a variety of Jazz, Latin, and Ballads. Marnie Martin leads the band with her smooth vocals. Dave Stevenson lays down the beat on the bass. And Larry Ayre plays beautiful solos on his guitar.

Special Event: Customer Appreciation Day
To show our appreciation to all of our amazing customers and supporters we will be cooking up some fresh corn for eat. Come for the freshness and stay for the fun!

The Musician this week is: Soundbite

Soundbite is Franco Noviello on guitar and Jordie Robinson on cello. These two over-the-hill musicians spent their youths playing in rock bands (Franco) and classical ensembles (Jordie). Now with tame day jobs (a videographer and piano tuner, respectively), Franco and Jordie met eight years ago and blended their styles, for a classically unique sound. Originals, classic rock and folk covers, even a Disney tune or two, this duo is hopefully entertaining, or at the very least, easy-listening.

The Musician this week is: Helen Austin

After years of writing songs while making a living as a musical stand-up comedian in the UK, Helen Austin’s move to Canada in 2002 was the catalyst for her musical career. While most of her time is focussed on Folk Pop duo Big Little Lions, she also writes for Riptide Music Publishers and has had countless placements on TV, ads and film. Her music, both solo and as the duo, has won many awards including the a JUNO Award, John Lennon Songwriting Competition Song of the Year and 2 Canadian Folk Music Awards. You can hear her music regularly on CBC
