Event Description

. Saturday, September 11th IMU presents The MATINÉE, WALTER DANDY & The DUSTY SEEDS, PETE WERNER & REDBIRD @ The Railway Club, 579 Dunsmuir . Doors 9pm / Cover $12 @ the door

The MATINÉE is emerging as one of the West Coast's premier independent bands. Blending a passion for fine ale and finely crafted tunes, they offer a unique spin on a roots rock sound that is quickly attracting both national and international audiences. Writing songs that paint pictures of empty bottles and broken hearts, broken bottles and empty hearts, their collection of songs vividly comes to life. As they continue with their hard-nosed, DIY, blue collar work ethic, there is little doubt that this show is worth the price of admission. http://www.myspace.com/thematinee

WALTER DANDY & The DUSTY SEEDS deliver a unique hybrid of folk, rock, western, swing and country, employing sweet skills on a banjo, a pedal steel, a few guitars, some harmonica and a little bit of organ. http://www.myspace.com/WalterDandy

PETE WERNER - With a delivery as casual and warm as his songwriting is confident, Pete Werner's music is breathtakingly accomplished alt/country rock. Werner and his longtime friends Del Cowsill and Shane Wilson effortlessly mix sparkling sunshine pop with light and nimble country twang, occasionally embroidered by pedal steel, mandolin and Hammond organ on their 2009 release "Savage" which was recorded and mixed by Steven Drake. http://www.myspace.com/petewernermusic

REDBIRD pairs roots influences with an indie rock eagerness and a soulful delivery of insightful lyrics. After leading the local indie-pop group The Savannah Leigh Band for several years, life began to lead singer/songwriter Savannah Leigh Wellman in new directions. Redbird's upbeat and quirky alternative country folk is infused with Wellman's sweet and tender yet powerful and captivating voice. http://www.redbirdmusic.ca
