SUMMARY:Yukon Cigar
DESCRIPTION:Yukon Cigar was lit in 2005. The idea? To take an earthy\, hushed songwriting style and set it on fire. Now\, after years on the Toronto club circuit (playing the likes of Cameron House\, Castro’s Lounge\, C’est What\, El Mocambo\, Rancho Relaxo\, and the NXNE festival)\, mainstays Craig and Peter have taken to backyard parties and neighbourhood pubs\, just two acoustics and a growing list of standards. With countless songs in the fire\, here lies the promise of sweet sing-alongs to come.

SUMMARY:Mike Daley & Alfie Smith
DESCRIPTION:Alfie Smith is a popular and crowd-pleasing fixture on the Ontario’s blues/folk/roots festivals and club circuit. He is a triple threat: a guitar virtuoso fluent on slide and vintage National and resonator instruments\, an eloquent songwriter in the classic blues tradition\, and a powerful singer with a voice to match his formidable physical presence. That deep voice sounds like it has been dredged from the depths of the muddy Mississippi River. It is rich and earthy\, and capable of expressing tenderness\, melancholy\, joy\, and righteous anger. \n“Alfie Smith is one bad Mother @%*er.” – Mel Brown

SUMMARY:Fraser / Daley / Cross
DESCRIPTION:A popular concert and recording act for over 14 years\, Toronto-based Fraser/Daley has released three CDs of original music and performed widely\, consistently entertaining audiences with their large and varied repertoire\, big sound and spontaneous sense of fun. Alec Fraser hails from Glasgow\, Scotland and is a respected bassist and Juno and Maple Blues Award winner. Mike Daley was dubbed by Jeff Healey ‘one of Canada’s finest guitarists’ and has a long list of live and studio credits. Alec and Mike met while working in Healey’s touring band in the mid-2000s and found that they enjoyed singing together after the gig. In 2008 they began playing together regularly in Toronto as Alec perfected a unique bass-drums combination instrument that gives this duo the unmistakable sound of a trio. Their three albums\, Fraser/Daley\, The Whole Fam Damily and Fifty Miles of Elbow Room have garnered steady sales and strong airplay on blues and folk radio\, and Alec and Mike have become sought after for their versatile performances\, playing everything from intimate house concerts to street dances.

SUMMARY:Mike Daley & Wendell Ferguson
DESCRIPTION:Mike Daley is a guitarist and singer based in Toronto. A professional musician for over 35 years\, Mike has toured and recorded with Jeff Healey\, Classic Albums Live\, the Killjoys\, Nine Big Dogs and many more. Mike is a longtime member of Fraser/Daley and he holds the position of Assistant Music Director at Church of the Redeemer in Toronto. Mike’s lecture-concerts in Toronto and Richmond Hill under the name ‘Dr. Mike Daley Presents’ regularly attract sellout audiences. For more information\, go to mikedaleymusic.com. \nBorn and still residing in Streetsville (Mississauga)\, Ontario\, Wendell became fixated on being a guitar player after hearing Chet Atkins play the instrument. Although he took several years of formal guitar lessons\, Wendell was off-and-running as a guitar player\, fueled more by listening to and emulating the recordings of some of his guitar idols: Chet Atkins\, Les Paul\, The Ventures and other guitar gods. Fast forward to 1998 and we find Wendell Ferguson releasing the first in what would be a series of solo albums\, mixing his guitar strengths with his off-the-cuff songwriting and his distinctive vocal styling. The first album\, “I Pick Therefore I Jam”\, was loaded with truly innovative work; not the least of which being a duet offering\, “If You’re Gonna Be A Cowboy”\, with Russell deCarle of Prairie Oyster fame – their effort earning a nomination for Collaboration of the Year at the 1999 CCMA Awards. Meanwhile Wendell’s guitar work was much in-demand\, and he was often called upon to tour in support of top-level Canadian artists\, including: Shania Twain\, George Fox\, Duane Steele\, Tommy Hunter\, Michelle Wright\, etc. Wendell Ferguson’s work has not gone unrewarded. He was nominated for a Juno Award (in 1995\, for Group of the Year with Coda The West) and he has been named the CCMA’s All-Star Band Guitar Player of the Year so many times that he is deemed no longer eligible. Wendell Ferguson was inducted into the Canadian Country Music Hall of Fame in 2014.
