Fri Apr 9 2010 - BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND - from the Okanagan - Raghu Lokanathan - If you missed Raghu last fall, don't miss him this spring. He's hugely entertaining, with savvy, satirical, and sometimes surprising lyrics woven through indie-folk guitar melodies that you can't help but hum along with. (Language warning, not necessarily a family show).

Thur April 15 - Jon and Roy - Hailing from Vancouver Island, after the release of their album Another Noon, suddenly the band found themselves part of a ‘new folk’ movement, a style growing out of North America and beyond. Soon after its release, songs from Another Noon found their way into the scores of many movies and TV shows. Volkswagen called to use a song in a commercial. Their music appeared on charts and radio internationally. They found themselves playing live all over Canada, performing at major festivals, on tour in the UK and doing shows and tours with Xavier Rudd, The Cat Empire and Buck 65. Suddenly a band that had focused more on its rehearsal space and local fan base now began a more frenetic pace as it addressed a growing audience worldwide. And here they come to Gibsons! Reserve early, this one will sell out.

Wed May 5, 2010 - Cinco de Mayo - if you missed it last year....

Thurs May 6 - 7pm - Gibsons Live Poets Society presents, Isa Milman

Fri May 28 - Miles Howe - From Nanaimo, grassroots to the core! A one man band, with harmonica,mandolin, bells and drums in the mix. Its a foot stomping good time. Joining Miles for this night of entertainment will be fellow label-mates Woodland Telegraph, who had the #1 album on Galaxy folk radio last year, and were also nominated for the Polaris prize.

Fri June 4 - Miles Black - Jazz festival darling and one of Canada's most respected & talented pianists, Miles Black makes a much coveted stop at Wild Bistro... reserve early for this one!
