Mark Sadlier-Brown is the frontman and has been playing his own kind of rootsy\, rockabilly\, folk\, and proto-jazz music for years. He also wrote “spur of the moment” songs for the local CBC station in Calgary. Mark performed as a member of “The Highwater Jugband” and the “Alien Rebels”.  \n\n\n\nThe Sadlier-Brown band likes to mix original songs with obscure vintage songs to give you a creative show. The band’s music mostly ranges from the era of the 50’s and into the 60’s.  All of their music is played with an infectious solid rhythm that encourages dancing.  The look and style of the band is vintage.  This includes clothes and instruments dating from the early time of country and rockabilly jive music. \n\n\n\nAcoustic Folk and Roots performer Henk van Ginneken (aka Leon Barr)\, backs up his vocals with guitars\, harmonicas\, mandolin and 6 string banjo. He has recorded two CDs. As well as his solo shows\, he has opened for Bill Bourne\, Tim Williams\, Oscar Lopez\, Jerusalem Ridge and Ken Ham to name a few. Along the way\, he has also done a lot of busking for well over 40 years. \n\n\n\nDoors open at 6:30 PM \n\n\n\nReturn Policy
