Sean Brewer and the Switchmen are an Edmonton country-rock band including Sean Brewer, Darrek Anderson, Kiron Jhass, Steve McGonigle, Khamserk Yawnghwe.

Sean Brewer, co-founder of The Uncas and The BeeFeeders, is now bringing his catchy and sincere tunes to a new band of heavyweights - The Switchmen. Brewer's songs bring good times and draw on his Albertan pride and small town sentimentality. They were a highlight of the South Country Fair this year.

Red Ram www.redram.ca or www.myspace.com/redram11   are an Edmonton based rock trio including guitarist vocalist Mark  Feduk, bassist Doug Organ and drummer Bill George, who are all about great songs. They have been playing together for three years and have played with the likes of Gob and the New Odds. This year they released a new EP called “Land of Dreams.”

With lyrics that offer an uncensored peek at the internal workings of the artist’s heart, the music of Shaela Miller is not to be missed. Playing with raw, real emotion Shaela enraptures the listener from the first strike of the string until the reverb dies. A fusion of cheatin’-hearts, dirty deeds, lost loves and wine-soaked thoughts of better days, her songs bring to mind Patsy Cline, Kitty Wells, Hank Williams with a collection of Iris Dement and Lucinda Williams albums with a healthy dose of rich guitars and steel strings. It is the soundtrack to a red light district of broken promises and barbed tongues. Shaela Miller’s music leaves you wanting more. With subject-matter not necessarily often found on the dance-floor, her music will have you dancing in spite of yourself.

Although born and raised in Victoria B.C, Shaela Miller has been living in the prairies of Lethbridge AB since the age of twelve. Learning to play guitar at fourteen, writing her own songs at sixteen, she hit Lethbridge's live music scene before coming of age. Performing at several music venues, festivals, and events she continued on that vein by working at Lethbridge's Tongue n Groove where she found herself surrounded by the sort of people and atmosphere perfect for an up and coming songstress. A former member of Les Sangreales and Red Wine Smile and current member of the Shaela Miller Threesome, Shaela is now a veteran in the local music scene in Lethbridge. She is also the face on the mural of The Slice Bar & Grill- a prominent live music venue. Solo or with her band, she has opened for touring acts such as Elliott Brood, Agnostic Mountain Gospel Choir, Danny Michel and Twilight Hotel to name a few.

The Shaela Miller Threesome consists of upright bassist Paul Holden (The Turncoats, Hippodrome), drummer Tyler Bird (John Wort Hannam, Queen of the Worms), and herself on lead vocals and semi-hollow electric and acoustic guitars. Bringing to the show an all original performance filled with songs reminiscent of the country music played in the 50's and 60's with a dark indie twist from the present and future, you will find yourself stunned with the immense emotion and passion of this trio. Vocal lines with Shaela's infamous vibrato and warble will give you shivers beyond belief and you'll be twisting your feet and shaking your tail before you know it.

Shaela’s music has begun to spread beyond the confines of Lethbridge as she has appeared on the cover of the Calgary Herald for Juno fest’s Music in Motion, and has played on Breakfast Television on Calgary’s A-Channel. She has also recorded in Los Angeles with Tim Feehan and is expected to have a song that she and Feehan co-wrote played on the hit television series 'My Name is Earl'. Shaela Miller won Alberta's South Country Fair 2009 songwriting competition for her song "Loving Me".
