Artist Bio’s

KITTY & THE ROOSTER

Kitty & The Rooster is a surf rock n’ roll duo from Vancouver. Their songs have clever lyrics and their show is a fun & sweaty spectacle. They are a duo that sounds like a full band. Kitty (Jodie Ponto) plays a stand-up cocktail drum kit and The Rooster (Noah Walker) plays electric guitar & bass at the same time.

JACK GARTON

Enchanting audiences in Western Canada and the USA for many years as a musician and theater artist, Jack Garton’s show is a rocking, sultry and fresh blend of roots, blues and doo-wop. Featured recently in Western Canada Theatre’s production of Chelsea Hotel, and fresh from recording a new full-length album with Vancouver surf legends Kitty and the Rooster, Jack is thrilled and honoured to be presenting his songs to live audiences again.

SAMMY VOLKOV

Lifelong record collecting has left Sammy with a facility for old-fashioned melodies combined with lyrics that are entirely present and personal. Imagine if Roy Orbison and Townes Van Zandt co-wrote a pop song – weird – but it kinda works. Sammy’s debut full-length album “Be Alright” is an 11-song collection that combines pure twang with Brian Wilson-esque ambition, all tied together by a voice as supple and entrancing as any heard in recent memory.
