Performers For Bragg Creek Festival 2008
James Keelaghan
Folk
music tells the stories of people and places, and Canada's James
Keelaghan is certainly that kind storyteller. Seventeen years after
his first album, he has established himself as a singer songwriter
with an international following- and a
compelling ability
to tell the stories of himself and his land.
Land's End Chamber Ensemble
Land's End in Cornwall, England, reaches out into the Atlantic
Ocean into what were uncharted waters before the time of Columbus.
The chamber ensemble of the same name was created to explore the
boundaries of contemporary music, and to create compelling aural
experiences.
Land's End Chamber Ensemble features an array of extraordinary performers, mostly residing in Calgary, who share an enthusiasm for bringing classical music into the 21st century. The players of Land's End are: Elizabeth and Marcel Bergmann (piano and keyboards), John Lowry (violin) Andrea Neumann (violin/viola) Beth Root Sandvoss (cello), and Dr. Mark Hopkins (conductor).
Balu with Toto Berriel
Balu is comprised of several performers. The iteration of Balu at
the Bragg Creek Festival will include, Toto Berriel and Alberto San
Martin.
Sarah Clark
Sarah Clark has been writing songs since she was 5 years old.
Sarah's musical style is contemporary/pop with undertones of blues and jazz. Her songs explore the experiences and emotional issues that happen to her or people around her.
Waltzing Matilda's
There's a lot of talented people in Bragg Creek. A group of them got together to form the Waltzing Matilda's. This may be a one performance band ... but then who knows. The talented mucisians include: Chris Sandvoss-violin, Tynan Groves-Banjo, Tim Jeffrey-mandolin and steel guitar, Jamie Newsome-Bass, and who knows who else may show up.
