The Bayou BoysThe Bayou Boys

Advance ticket price: $12.50

After two years of touring with the band Green River, Canada's first Creedence Clearwater Revival tribute act, Mike McDonald took a few years off to work in the studio and re-discover his blues roots.

In 1988, Mike received a call from a Toronto agent, telling him that Green River had disbanded, leaving a hole in the market that he felt sure Mike could readily fill owing to his experience in developing Green River's line-up and following, back in 1985.

Early in 1989, The Bayou Boys went on the road, and haven't looked back. In the past 12 years, the band has toured all over Canada, eastern Canada being one of their strongest markets. They have recently ventured into the American casino market as well. The Bayou Boys are one of the Favourite "Imported" acts in Finland, returning there every five months for six weeks of constant touring.

Those who have seen him perform live unanimously agree that DW James is one of the most exciting country performers to appear in Canada in quite some time. The energy they put into their show is infectious, and the result has been a growing fan base wherever they play. DW likes to bill himself as the "third hardest working man in country music", but he'll never tell you who the other two are.

Having opened for renowned performers such as Billy Ray Cyrus, Asleep At The Wheel, The Dixie Chicks and Hal Ketchum, DW knows what it takes to succeed at the highest levels of the business. Two years ago DW drew 2000 people to Lulu's in Kitchener as the sole entertainer for 820 CHAM's Country Music Video Dance Party - and this was before he had a record out!

The Band GAMUT

Saturday September 8, 2007
Time: 9:00 PM

A live performance is the only way to truly appreciate the diversity of this four piece Rock and Roll band . Their great mix of covers have been carefully selected to keep the crowd dancing and pleading for more at the end of the night!

GAMUT have been together for several years , going through various name and member changes ... all the while developing it's unique blend of entertaining music.

The final piece fell into place in early 2004 with the addition of a new lead guitar member and the rest is as they say ... Rock and Roll history!
