      2nd Annual

     Chestermere Water Festival

      Summer Musical Showcase

     ( View Poster)

    It was such a great party last year they asked us to do it again!!

It started out as a request to play the beer gardens and maybe invite another band if "it wasn't too much trouble" ... Never leave an open ended request like that in front of a renovator, welder, record producer and a business man and then expect things to stay small -lol

This year there is even more music scheduled with the emphasis on both variety and quality, drawing first from the local music scene. Many of the bands playing have records out, have won band talent contests, entertain regulary in and around Calgary and so on. We know you'll enjoy the show no matter what band is on at the time.

A much appreciated improvement to this years set up is a family area seperate from the beer garden to enjoy the music stage!

This year we have permission to play during the fireworks so we are rockin' right till 11 PM with The Lions. Not to be confused with the great service organization, The Lions have opened for Our Lady Peace, Jet, as well as regulary headlinging their own shows, festivals and other special events.

We are still finalizing the times and order so chek back soon, when we'll update the events page with bios, pictures and such. For now here's a quick list below: (See bio and pics page)

• Stars and City Lights
• Lies from Elysium
• Brock Mills
• 1 Foot Party
• Red Head Mac
• Nique Bruce
• Alex Campbell
• End Silence
• Dunright
• Ward Huckabay
• Chestermere Soundwaves

Like we said, most of these groups have records, and the bands will also have other merchandise available, so bring some cash to help support the independent music community. The days of excessive rock star lifestyles are over for all but a few, and many times live shows and merchandise sales are how musicians are paying the bills. The good news is we now have a chance to see music grow at the roots level without a record company executive deciding if we get to hear it or not.

Alberta has always been about selfmade men and women so come on out and see what is happening in the local music scene, many of you will be pleasantly surprised at the level of talent. You may even get a chance to say " I saw them before they were big". Rembember, even the Beatles and Stones were undiscovered acts at one time, and both were turned down by mulitple record companies before someone saw the light!!!
