JAN 13 SHADES OF GREEN
Shades of Green is a diverse group of BC musicians playing an eclectic blend of Folk, Americana
and Irish music, from traditional to contemporary. Fronted by Lucy Rowley along with Caden
Knudson, Bryan Barrow and Darren Exley they’ve recently released their first CD Cuckoo for Cotton
Bales. Whether you’re at Crossroads, relaxing in a pub or dancing in a club, Shades of Green are
sure to entertain you!
JANUARY 27 JOHN HOUGH / WILLY BLIZZARD
From Vancouver, the indie-roots trio has been touring its original music across Canada for the past
five years. Showcasing close vocal harmonies against the warmth of acoustic instruments, CBC
Radio has profiled their “truly gorgeous Canadiana” (Penguin Eggs). Band front man John Hough is
a life-long friend of Crossroads volunteer Doug Rolling. Join Willy Blizzard for a special evening as
they and their guests remember Doug in story and song. (www.willyblizzard.com)

Swing Kids - Stringz Aloud
APRIL 7 SWING KIDS - STRINGS ALOUD
Did you know that swing music was banned by the Nazis and became part of the resistance movement? That story tonight and the swing tunes of Don Kellett, Susan Vigneux and Joe Bourchier on
bass. Like the last few times, Don and Susan will throw some great musical hooks and twists into
their fun set at Crossroads. Multi-instrumentalists and multi-talented, these three will fill your musical
plate tonight!
APRIL 28 DAVID LOWE
During 2016, while recording his CD Following the Sun, this long-time folk musician and singer-songwriter collaborated with several outstanding Victoria based musicians who added a distinctive, often
more classical, flavour to the music, characterized perhaps as Chamber Folk. Enjoy an evening of
David’s clear tenor vocals, and evocative finger style guitar, enriched by Moritz Behm on violin &
mandolin, Michelle Carlisle (of Blackthorn) on piccolo & harmony vocals and Wynn Gogol on piano,
bass & accordion. They will take you on a musical journey to places near and far, familiar and exotic,
comfortable and daunting as together we will be Following the Sun, which is the title of David’s newly
released CD.
MAY 12 FRASER-HENDERSON
Singer-songwriters Barb Fraser and Dennis Henderson (aka Fraser-Henderson) create and perform
music that comes from the heart. Their songs speak to the things we all share: nature, relationships,
and the simple pleasures of life. You will hear compelling stories created through the sweet interplay
of voices and guitars! “Every story has a song; every song, a story”
MAY 26 CLARA SHANDLER - SIDEWALK CELLIST
Born into a musical family, Clara Shandler fell in love with the cello when she was just three years
old. Her training as a classical musician focused on chamber music throughout her youth and
she has since transformed those skills to play in rock bands, fiddle troupes, traditional Persian
ensembles, new music groups and so much more. Clara completed her Bachelor of Music degree at
UBC by teaching private cello students and sharing her music in a wide variety of private and public
performances. She is now both the assistant strings teacher at the West Point Grey Academy and
VP of the East Vancouver Community Music School. She travels to Cambodia and Burma every
winter in order to share and teach music as part of a budding music program called ‘Singing Tree’.
