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.

This duo will perform an acoustic show.

Two Twenty Two is Warren Muzak and Amanda Brewer, both independent singer/songwriters from Kitchener-Waterloo, Ontario (Warren arrived in KW via years in the Hamilton scene). They are good alone. They are great together. Please check both of their personal myspace pages.

Canadian-born Linda Grenier is a powerful singer who has become an accomplished songwriter, and has released three CD’s of original material to prove it.

Linda spends many hours traveling back and forth from county to city. Her music is often influenced by the hustle and bustle of everyday life as she reflects on it behind the wheel of her car. It’s these everyday inspirations that lead to her first CD release, “GO’IN PICK’IN” in November 2000. Linda’s 2nd CD, appropriately entitled, “ASPHALT RAMBLINGS”, was released on August 28th, 2003.

With her release of “LIFE SAMPLINGS” on August 8, 2008 comes new songs “50 Bucks” and “Hot Spell” which are sure to be a hit.

Her songs range from light-hearted road music (”Driving” and “50 Bucks”) through acerbic commentary (”Find the Kitchen”) all the way to the torchy, evocative “Moonlight” and “Let It Go”.
