About The Event
Hailing from Vancouver BC, Canada, Cousin Harley, can explode like an active volcano, swing like the Basie band and holler like A lonesome hillbilly in the back woods of the Appalachia, all in a single show. This trio has been rocking international audiences for 20 years!
Called the “Motorhead of Rockabilly” by a delirious fan after a particularly raucous show in Holland, there’s nothing tentative about Cousin Harley’s pedal to the metal approach to this stripped down form of rock and roll. As Pigat notes, “Cousin Harley’s been my main project for 12 or 13 years now, and people think it’s easy to play rockabilly, but nothing could be farther from the truth. Everyone has to be on board from the first note or it just doesn’t work.” And judging from the people who drove or flew hundreds of miles to attend shows on his last European jaunt, everything’s working just fine.
Whiskey Jack
Whiskey Jack is an acoustic guitar and vocal duo based in Golden, specializing in folk and country music. Over the past year, they’ve been steadily growing their presence in the local music scene. They’ve had the pleasure of performing at the Co-op Radio Block Party, Kicking Horse Mountain Resort, the Golden Farmers’ Market, the Fall Faire, and the annual Craft Fair. Each show has helped refine their sound and connect with the community in meaningful ways.
