MIKE MACHADO TRIO is a psychedelic Vancouver-based blues rock band strongly driven by their passion to play new rock and blues music in the spirit of the greats of the past, while paying tribute to legends including Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, Cream, BB King, Buddy Guy and Stevie Ray Vaughan. http://www.facebook.com/pg/mikemachadomusic

The UNKNOWN SOLDIERS come amazingly close to replicating the music of THE DOORS note for note while capturing their raw energy through each band member's interpretation, combining to deliver a groovy reproduction of a live Doors show that keeps audiences in a head-bobbing, toe-tapping trance. http://www.facebook.com/unknownsoldiersband

DAMEIAN THE LION - After touring throughout Canada with Five Alarm Funk, sharing the stage with countless acts and recording with the likes of Hey Ocean and Dehli To Dublin, Dameian is working on his first solo album, throwing all his passion into his own creations that deliver on his talents as a vocalist, a bluesman, a funkster and a saxman. http://www.facebook.com/Dameian-the-Lion-45701393767
