March 21 – The Wardens with Von Bieker Duo opening – The Wardens - The Wardens don’t just sing about the land, they’re part of it.
The Rocky Mountain-based band’s stories and songs rise from the very land they’ve protected as Canadian national park wardens. With haunting three-part harmonies and chilling tales, the band’s mountain music – blending folk, roots and western styles – reflects Canada’s protected wilderness areas. Celebrating the return of wild buffalo, wrangling grizzly bears, lonely nights on the pack trail and reflecting on an environment in crisis, a performance by The Wardens has been dubbed “the quintessential mountain-culture concert experience.”
"A sell-out house and one of our best performances in 30 years...I wish I could put them on in Canada’s biggest concert halls so that more people could be carried away by their music and their tremendous humanity." Deep Cove Folk Music Society
Von Bieker Duo – What exactly sets Dave Von Bieker apart from the rest of the indie-folk singer-songwriter pack? His songs are jammed with fanciful details and delectable turns of phrase. His neither flashy nor TV-competition-show-worthy singing is workmanlike but adds to his charm. Some of his songs tackle his evangelical Christian roots but are not pious. And to top it off the dude can rock a bow tie like no one else you've ever seen.
