November 4th, 2010.  Doors 7:30, show 8pm, $10.  Jon McPhail and his Family Band ... is a small family.  In fact it's just Jon, but don't hold it against him.  McPhail is from Ochre River Manitoba and has been exploring the musical world of alt country, folk, pop and retro fuzz rock for five year now.  Jon started singing and performing as a young boy in his family's band.  The McPhails traveled and performed at different churches and halls in southern Saskatchewan and Manitoba.  As the son of a United Church Minister, Jon spent al lot of time in the back of a car driving for  church service to church service, singing hymn after hymn, and waiting for after service coffee to finish before it was off to the next small town.









When she was in grade 4, Rylee's (a.k.a Feed The Birds) dad bought her a bass guitar. He wanted a family band. Each of the kids got an instrument and a few gigs in churches and town halls followed. The band slowly became Ryelee and her two brothers recording music in their grandmother’s 100 year old farm house. Cords all over the green shag carpeted floor, life magazine covers plastering the walls. A picture of Grandma and Grandpa watching the kids make music using an 8 track recorder, cymbals they hand hammered themselves and 99cent microphones bought at Value Village.

Stubborn too much alike siblings got distracted with their own lives and music fell by the wayside. But it wasn’t too long before Ryelee Started worked on a solo project. She recorded with the help of her two brothers and released her debut album, “the Fall”, in June of 2008. Ryelee has played numerous shows since, including Kelwood’s Harvest Sun Festival as well as performed on several local television and radio stations.

Ryelee has completed preproduction for her forthcoming album, “Catcher”, which has an anticipated release of Fall 2010.
