These guys are students of the Heritage Carpentry program at Algonquin College here in Perth.  They have been playing on and off at the Farmer’s Market and people are liking what they hear.  Come on out and welcome the new guys.

Brock Zeman may only be twenty-five years old, but already he’s released three previous albums with his signature roots style, and been praised by critics for the maturity of his vocals, the depth of his storytelling and his impressive live performances – which he shares with audiences widely and regularly, across North America and Europe.

His fourth album, Welcome Home Ivy Jane, produced by Keith Glass of Prairie Oyster fame, along with Zeman and Steve Foley at Audio Valley, cements Zeman’s talent as a songwriter who balances the grit of everyday life with a lyrical heart. Sung in his deep, rich and twangy vocals and backed by a first rate band, Zeman is, as one reviewer has said, “certainly a rising star” (Atlantic Seabreeze).

Zeman’s vocals often illicit immediate comparisons to Americana greats; Country Music News has said that Zeman has “a voice that begs to be compared to Steve Earle” while Rootshighway claims that “Brock Zeman should have been born in Austin Texas.” But it is Zeman’s songwriting that makes the comparisons to the great singer-songwriters stick.

Guthrie House with Dave Balfour - these guys start at 9pm

It has been a long time coming but this local band has finally gotten their act together and is going to release their first CD titled “She’s Right”! There will be special treats all through the evening and a cover at the door. More details to come.

This duo will perform an acoustic show.
