2025 Festival Performance LINE UP
STAY TUNED AS THE LINE UP GROWS...
Friday, August 15, 2025
Luc and Aidan Wrigley are Cree and French-Metis twins who began Fiddling and Jigging at the age of 3. You can expect an expanding musical repertoire through several original songs and music written by Luc and Aidan.
Reeves’ musical style is described as being “smooth roots rock’n blues with a powerful kick.” Anybody who loves R&B will immediately be inspired by Mark’s infectious, dance-all-night groove and unpretentious lyrical wisdom that makes you sit back while you catch your breath.
The Solutions are a Winnipeg based funk/soul/R&B band, known for their high energy, feel-good performances. An 8-piece band featuring vocal powerhouses Sol “Mama Sol” James and Todd Martin, The Solutions have earned a reputation as one of Winnipeg’s hottest party bands since their debut in 2007.

Performer to be announced!
Alanna Finnson and Sean Mourre play an eclectic mix of jazz standards and 80’s pop/rock. Each song is consciously picked and portrayed with intricacy and vulnerability, drawing an audience into forgotten nostalgia.
Most players will tell you that the harmonica is the closest instrument to the human voice, a quality that gives it a unique appeal and this woman in blues delivers!
We are a trio who love to courageously explore various genres of music, including folk, rock, and pop to name a few. Mostly cover songs, with a sprinkling of originals. The easy-on-the ears vocal \instrumental stylings of Shelley and Mike, layered over the rock-solid backbeat and rhythmic flourishes of Brad, lead to some fine listening folks!
Performer to be announced!
Debra Lyn creates a mood full of energy. Rich vocal tone that sounds like smooth leather worn with time and a range to hard driven blues that scuff a dance floor.
D.B. & the Deadbeats perform a mixture of Blues Standards and put them on steroids as well as some classic rock favourites and originals. Expect an unplugged set to their repertoire.
Winnipeg-based Sol James is a force to be reckoned with, with a voice to match. A unique take on roots/blues with a soulful flair, her music is joyful and honest, leaving audiences smiling, dancing, and celebrating the great stuff of life.
Based in Winnipeg, MB, Dirty Catfish Brass Band’s aim is to inspire, create and instigate – but, mostly, they just want you on your feet. Undeniably tight, yet reckless as hell, Dirty Catfish Brass Band deals in powerful phrasing and performances drenched with rhythm.
Musicians come together to wrap up the second night with the Annual ROGerKimLee Collaborative Jam!
Sunday, August 17, 2025
Singing & playing together for 8 years, this Manitoba group performs a selection of hymns, gospel, folk, and country songs.
Double the trouble this year with Tim Co-Emceeing AND performing live!
Winnipeg-based musician whose eclectic style blends a wide range of genres, from R&B and jazz, folk, rock, funk, and more.
Arnie’s pick/fingerstyle is engaging and pleasant to listen to , as he weaves melody and chords together in his interpretation of covers and in his songwriting .
Winnipeg band featuring sweet and smoky harmonies, luscious guitar licks, the eerie sound of the theremin, and a bassline that walks the talk.

In Memory
This festival started off as a means of honouring three musicians, friends, and initiators of music in Manitoba. Roger Young, Kim Russell, and Lee Oreniuk. They were all individuals who shared a passion for music, and it is after all, what brings people together.
