MARIACHI LOS DORADOS - Formed in 2003 by musical director Alex Alegria (La Casa Del Artista), Mariachi Los Dorados brings the best of traditional Mexican Mariachi music to Vancouver. Los Dorados are well known throughout Western Canada for their stellar mixture of Canadian and Mexican talent, and they represented Canada in the 15th annual International Mariachi Festival in Guadalajara. These musicians deliver the passion, love and respect they feel for Mexico and its culture.

MIKEY MANVILLE - As a versatile singer/songwriter, Mikey Manville turns from maddening front man in the psychedelic, blues-infused quartet The Manvils, to a soulful folk-rock troubadour. Vancouver-based and native Torontonian, Manville has spread his intense musical sermon across North America with songs that represent the personal attachments and detachments of life, love and the human condition. http://www.mikeymanvillemusic.com

WALKER BAND featuring TONY BALONY - Tony Walker is one of the most noteworthy songwriters to come out of Canada, breaking boundaries with his callous wit and the abrasive cynicism that has always been synonymous with punk rock. His skilled guitar work and clever arrangements scream throughout his songs with raw gritty, soulful vigor. Tony Balony has been an integral face in Vancouver's underground music scene with an armada of bands and collaborations ranging from Art Bergmann and The Actionauts to the formation of world-renowned Scot rockers the Real McKenzies. Throughout his career he has shared stages with legendary rockers including the Ramones, The Cramps, X, Bad Religion and NOFX while continuing to carve exciting new paths through the musicscape with powerful live performances. http://www.tonybalony.com

JOYCE ISLAND's stripped down approach has its roots in Lisa Joyce's love of beat poetry, mod music & fashion, old school country crooners, kick-ass rhythm & blues psychedelic rock, and all things East Van. Mixed with her love of vintage guitars, red wine, kitty cats, Morocco, India & pretty dresses, her style approaches an emotionally charged, uniquely-vibed style that she can call her own. http://www.myspace.com/lisalalapo
