Now veterans of the Canadian Music Scene, River City Junction has had the honour of playing with some of Canada’s finest musicians. Juno & Maple Blues award winning artists such as Jerome Godboo, Eric Shenkman, Jerry Mercer, Steve Marriner & Matt Sobb, Al Wood, Murray Kinsley, Leigh-Ann Stanton, Rod Williams, Thomas Starwalker Clair, David Maracle, Greg Morency, Scott Price, Simon Meilleur & Robert Watt are but a few of the many talented people RCJ has had the good fortune to perform with.

They’ve also had the esteemed & rare pleasure of working & studying with legendary producer/engineer & former V.P. of Island Records Rob Fraboni. (Bob Dylan, The Band, Eric Clapton, Keith Richards, The Rolling Stones, The Beach Boys, Joe Cocker, Bonnie Raitt)

With two albums released & a newly founded record label / recording studio recently purchased named Tone King Records, they are working on re-releasing their first two albums as well as tracking the third & working on pre-production for the fourth. Also active on the studio side of things, they have recorded, mixed & mastered several albums for fellow musicians such as Josef Mieto’s “Bad Eyes”, Chasing Amber’s self titled debut & Blues & Company’s self titled EP. They are currently working on a release for Toronto Jazz band Snaggle & have several other projects lined up for the near future as well.

Formed in mid 2016, Dimestore Playboys are: Ian Cook (The Kingmakers) lead vocal, rhythm guitar; Ian Clark (The LowballBidders) lead guitar and vocals; Sean Burke (The Mud Boys) bass and vocals; and Matt Sobb (MonkeyJunk) on drums and vocals. The Playboys are sure to entertain, playing rockabilly, swing, blues, early country hits, with a smattering of well penned originals!

Once described as an energy fuelled, country/rock collision, PBD continues to capture this ideal. Created by the drummer, Scott McCulloch, along with the dancing bass grooves of Brent “Ralph” Milne, fronted by Dave Jollymore, and Dave McCulloch, Pride Be Damned has begun to gather an ever growing following.

Pride Be Damned has played together for the past 20 years, with Dave McCulloch joining the band in late 2016. Dave McCulloch has brought a country voice, and years of frontman experience. Having played for years as DW James, touring, and promoting 2 CDs, PBD welcomed him and began a new direction. This new direction would mean adding a “splash of country” to the set list with keeping the focus on making the audience have a rockin’ good time.

Whether rocking the bar with originals, songs from The Tragically Hip, The Rolling Stones, or slowing down with a ballad from Blue Rodeo, they continue to entertain. PBD isn’t satisfied until they have left it all on the stage, and the audience walks away exhilarated, and exhausted.

Steve Stacey and the Stump Splitters are a throwback to the days of storytelling in song, contemplating life with humour, unique observations and truth that is too obscure to be a lie. Armed with songs about cars, lost love, drinking, the occasional murder ballad, no topic is off limits.

Steve will keep you on your toes trying to figure out what will he say next. Working on a new album of original songs, Steve has 2 cd's of original material "Sounded Good at the Time" and "Tall Tales Fibs and Outright lies" which was described in Exclaim magazine - "Steve Stacey and company have carjacked Buck Owens, rear-ended John Prine and made off with (at least) a vat of homemade whiskey to create this set of infectious masterpieces".
