Prairie Oyster Keith Glass to headline Night Before Xmas 2008

Keith Glass

You don’t know what you’ve got ‘til it’s gone. Those words from another Canadian musical great certainly ring true for the fans of Prairie Oyster who were eager for a new album from their honky-tonk heroes. Thing is – the band never went away, but the gap between their records has shown how invaluable their contribution to Canadian roots music has been.

Guthrie House ready to roll!

Guthrie House

Guthrie House

Guthrie House…a beautiful old building in Elgin, Ontario. A welcoming community space where friends and seasoned musicians would meet regularly to create music, share stories and ‘jam’ for hours. When asked to perform live the obvious choice for a name for the band and in homage to the building…Guthrie House.

For the past 8 years Marty Crapper (upright and electric bass) Dave Balfour (guitar/vocals) and Steve Hanna (guitar/vocals) have been writing music filled with interesting stories, hook laden melodies, and serious musicianship. Guthrie House is a professional original folk-rock band to the ear and to the eye. Together and separately, they have played in over 20 bands and draw on their jazz, rock, pop, folk and blues backgrounds. With the recent addition of Melanie Morris on vocals and Justin Purvis on percussion the band has added another dimension to their sound.

Guthrie House can put a smile on your face, get your toes tapping and keep you humming long after a show. Whether playing their own material or tearing through their spin on others’ compositions don’t miss catching Guthrie House live!
