The Polyjesters
Wednesday, July 1, 8 pm - 9:30 pm
 The Polyjesters play everything from Billie Holiday to the Beatles, from old swing and jazz standards to alternative country. They have a unique, highly energetic, home-grown sound that is completely contagious. They are unfailingly-entertaining and are guaranteed to appeal to a wide range of musical tastes. Polyjester brothers, Jason and Sheldon Valleau, who hail from Carstairs, Alberta, honed their musical talents in Europe playing for everyone from passers-by to the Prince of Monaco. Their band morphs into several variations to include any combination of fiddle, percussion and guitar. These positions will be filled by Drew Jurecka (fiddle) and Aaron Young (guitar) this tour. The Polyjesters were last seen in Spruce Grove in 2003 performing under their previous moniker, Fiddlesticks.
Gord Bamford
 Wednesday, July 1, 9:30 pm – 11 pm
Born in Australia but raised in Lacombe, Gord Bamford is an Alberta country-boy through and through. Gord lives his life in a way that brings a unique outlook and a heartfelt sincerity to his music. Gord’s sophomore album, Life Is Good, was released in 2004 to rave reviews. It generated six top-twenty radio hits, including “Life Is Good”, “Heroes”, “All About Her”, and “I Would For You”.
His third full-length album, Honkytonks And Heartaches, in 2007 solidified his place in the Canadian country music scene. Its first three singles, “Blame It On That Red Dress”, “Went For One, Stayed Till Two” and “Little Guy”, raced up the charts to number one slots on radio stations across the country. In 2008, Gord received his first Juno nomination, wrote the Calgary Stampede theme song titled “This Old Hat”, and won Canadian Country Music Awards for Top New Male Talent, Record Producer of the Year and Video of the Year. If you’re in the mood for country music that tells a story we all can relate to, that touches the deepest part of your soul and stirs emotions in your heart, and that lifts your spirits and makes you laugh out loud, Gord Bamford will deliver!
