| BRIANA
STEWART
- Born and raised in Kelowna, Briana was classically
trained in piano from the age of 3. Having dabbled
in poetry from a very young age, her poems began
to evolve into songs as she honed the ability
of writing lyrics and melodies without any instrumental
background. Introduced to local sensation Matthew
Mei last year, the creative connection was instantaneous
and Briana's songs took shape with the help of
his expert ear and amazing guitar skills. They've
completed her debut album "Hero of Fools"
after only a few months of collaboration, but
her dream has truly been years in the making.

| VENICE
QUEEN are
a 4-piece rock band from Richmond whose inspiration
is derived from countless different groups and
styles, with each song naturally sounding different
from the rest. While inspired by bands like Alice
in Chains, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Stone Temple
Pilots, Deftones and Queens of the Stone Age,
they refuse to pinpoint themselves to a specific
genre other than to what sounds pleasing to their
ears and hopefully to others! FREEWILL
- Their music blends the deep roots of classic
blue collar rock 'n' roll with edgy, passionate
vocals and funky bass runs. They are a fun, dirty
guitar-driven, bass thumpin, sweet soul rock 'n'
roll band. |
