3:00 PM – Shaela Miller and the Band (country roots) http://www.prairiesentimentalist.com/

Despite its origin far south of the tundra Treeline (Lethbridge) is a testament to a common yet atypical prairie landform; marking property lines, breaking wind and providing shade over the horseshoe pit.   For the past five years the honky-tonk sympathizing southern Alberta quartet has been marinating in the underbelly of the Western Canadian Music Scene. Drawing comparisons to successful prairie artists to come before them like the Corb Lund and Old Reliable, it's no surprise that Treeline cites the pioneers of the country-roots tradition like Merle Haggard and Gram Parsons as primary influences.   Members include Shaela Miller (Guitar/ vocals), Danny Dyck (Steel guitar),Tyler Bird (Bass accordion, fiddle), Taylor Ackerman (Guitar) and drummer Clayton Smith.
