Nominated “Best Live Act” for the 2011 Vancouver Island Music Awards, The Turnpike Bandits deliver a performance not to be missed.

Started in 2006 as a 3 piece band, The Turnpike Bandits grew into a power house of musicians. The group is built with seven musicians whose talents are as diverse as the Canadian Country side, bringing only the best to the table. Eric Peterson (Singer/Song Writer/ Guitar), Matt Stockman (Drums/ Vocals), Al Sauborin (Lead Guitar), Luke Phillips (E. Rhythm Guitar), Shane Hunt (Bass), Ray Mohr (Pedal Steel) and April Reide (Back-up Vocals).
