Westmore2:25 pm |
|
Westmore is a 20 year old self taught musician from Central Alberta. Growing up in church & surrounded by a musical family, from a young age he always had a passion for music. As a child he refused to take lessons no matter how hard his father tried to teach him. At the age of 6, Westmore had come across a chord sheet that had chord diagrams on it. After a few minutes of figuring it out, Westmore learnt how to play a G, C, D, Em & Am. From that day forward, Westmore has learnt just about everything he knows by teaching himself. |
John Hewitt3:00 pm |
|
John Hewitt is a force not seen since the end of the 70’s. There are bands, artists and songwriters that mimic and imitate but John Hewitt absorbs and reimagines. From folk clubs to house concerts, festivals to halls John is a master of storytelling, arranging, producing and a painter of poems scarcely seen in today’s musical climate. Since his early teens taking in the powerful sounds of the Beatles, Tom Petty, Neil Young, Bob Dylan, Van Morrison and the Grateful Dead he has been wandering, searching and yielding a crop of new ideas from the old world. A multi-instrumentalist from Sault Ste. Marie Ontario and being Alberta bound since 2018 John’s mark on the Western music scene is impossible to go unnoticed. |
