The HUTCHISON EFFECT - Intense, melodic and groovy, The Hutcheson Effect is a conveniently-timed supergroup composed of the scattered remains of many now-defunct local bands who've come together in the name of funk, jazz, rock and ass-shaking! http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Hutchison-Effect/298426033508658?sk=info

WHITEY - With songs that incorporate everything from funk to Latin to blues, Whitey offers something for everyone with an extremely energetic live show and countless successful tours spanning both coasts. Their performances are an intense celebration of dance, music, art and life as the band explores freedom of expression through song and the unifying principles of music. http:/www.myspace.com/whiteycanada

BLACK SUGAR is a refreshingly exciting band among the latest crop of intelligent and imaginative hard-rock hopefuls emerging from Vancouver's bountiful music scene. Powered by the winning charisma and multi-octaved Cornellian pipes of lead singer Rob Krys, Black Sugar carves out a gripping and unique blend of prog-fusion chops and funk-tinged hard rock. http://www.myspace.com/blacksugarvancouver

MATTHEW MEI - Drawing from childhood exposure to folk, gospel and church music along with later preferences for blues, alternative and jazz, Matthew Mei brandishes a charismatic blend of blues, rock, folk and hip hop. Having traveled the world as the son of a preacher man, his initial introduction to the world of music was his dad's old records, but it was his struggles in life and his soulful growth that fueled his desire to write emotional and heartfelt songs that channel the highs and lows of human experience. http://www.matthewmei.com
