One of the best-selling Indie recording artists around, Babe's music has been described as honest, rootsy and real, fitting powerful stories to thoughtful music with craftswomanlike precision. Experiencing Babe's engaging personality in concert is a treat, and discovering her playful and keen sense of humour is always a delight. The Vancouver based singer, songwriter and guitarist has drawn comparisons to such diverse talents as Bonnie Raitt, John Hiatt, Shawn Colvin and Sheryl Crow but this is one diamond who shines with her own kind of light - always managing to retain her own unique acoustic roots sound and style. Though she now lives in Vancouver, Babe is from Brentwood Bay originally!

Local favorite Shaky Ground will rock Brentwood Bay with rock classics from the 50s, 60s and 70's, to hit tunes of today's hot bands. One of the most polished and hottest cover show bands around, Shaky Ground recently performed as back up band for Alan Frew of Glass Tiger.
