Artist Bio

Barney Bentall has been a fixture of the Canadian music landscape for more than three decades—from his chart-topping days fronting The Legendary Hearts in the ‘90s to his deeply personal solo albums that blend roots, folk, and storytelling with grace. A Juno Award winner and lifelong collaborator, he continues to evolve his sound through projects like The High Bar Gang, BTU, and The Cariboo Express. His latest release, Cosmic Dreamer, recorded largely during the pandemic, finds him in a more reflective, stripped-down mode—songs shaped by family, memory, loss, and the quiet beauty of everyday life. Whether on his own or with friends, Bentall brings a rare kind of warmth and wisdom to the stage, inviting listeners into a musical journey as intimate as it is enduring.

SUPER-DELUXE FIDDLE, BANJO, AND SONG

Through twenty years and a couple of thousand shows together in bands such as The Foggy Hogtown Boys and The Lonesome Ace Stringband, John Showman and Chris Coole have developed a deep and instinctual musical bond.  Their music lurks in a truly unique space that is somewhere on the outskirts of old-time, bluegrass, and folk. The songs of John Hartford, Hank Williams, Dock Boggs, and The Band share space with the fiddle tunes of Eck Robertson and Ed Haley. The duo’s original songs and tunes take in all these vistas and paint something both personal and timely. 

They have performed across North America and Europe at festivals such as Merlefest, Rockygrass, Winnipeg Folk Festival, Mariposa, Wintergrass, Gooikroots, and The John Hartford Memorial Festival. In 2022, the duo released two albums; “ Afield” a collection of old-time fiddle tunes, and  “Much Further Out than Inevitable – A Tribute to Some Music of John Hartford.”
