The Northern

With perfect timing for the weather to take a turn, Dirty Catfish Brass Band (DCBB) aim to keep their Fernie fans warm when they hit The Northern Bar & Stage on November 30th!

“Everytime we perform outside of our local community of Winnipeg, we are most excited share our music with new fans and catch up with friends & fellow music lovers that we've come across in the past,” bandmember, Kyle Wedlake, says. “We'll also be travelling further west than ever before, and are really looking forward to exploring these areas.”

There’s a reason, beyond their dazzling musicianship and wildly entertaining live shows, that The East Pointers have connected with audiences right across the globe, making new, original roots music the hippest, most vibrant thing going.

The reason? The East Pointers - fiddler/singer Tim Chaisson, banjoist Koady Chaisson and guitarist Jake Charron – write about real life, sketching out its joys and sorrows in vivid strokes. That palpable authenticity makes their instrumental tunes practically cartwheel and infuses their lyric-driven songs with poignancy. 

The Northern is stoked as heck to have Bend Sinister stop in on their The Other Way Tour! Labeled as anything from math to prog to pop but feeling most comfortable in the plain guise of rock, Bend Sinister of Vancouver BC have evolved through numerous styles and absorbed a plethora of influences to become a band so refreshingly original that the struggle to categorize them is a losing battle.
