Ivan Boudreau - SongStage host

Ivan has been professional musician/songwriter and wandering minstrel for over 45 years, with deep roots in Nova Scotia and his youthful years in Boston and Toronto. He now calls British Columbia home and continues with his driving passion for stories and songs that are honest and heartfelt.

Paul Pigat

You’d never think it to look at Paul Pigat, but behind that unassuming grin and underneath those Doc Watson glasses lurks one of the most restless, combustible musical imaginations ever crammed like so much canned heat into a single body. Blessed with a jazz man’s sheen, a rockabilly heart and a hobo’s soul, there aren’t many genres of music that don’t pull at Pigat’s wayfaring imagination like a magnet. In many ways, it’s a mystery why Paul Pigat isn’t a household name yet. Maybe he’d be a lot easier to pin down if he wasn’t so darn good at so many different things.

Angela Harris

To date Angela has four full-length albums to her credit Angela Harris (2000), Roots (2006), Is Your Life as it Should Be (2009) and A Woman Like Me (2018), and 2 singles Family Matters (2011), Let’s Go for A Ride (2012), winning her a BCCMA Roots/Canadiana Award, as well as several award nominations, including a nod from the WCMA’s for Outstanding Roots Album.

Joe Charron

Joe has just released his fifth album of country folk originals, he’s appeared on festival stages such as: Mariposa, South Country Fair, Islands Folk Festival, Burns Lake Bluegrass Festival and Coombs Bluegrass Festival.

In the late nineties Joe co-produced and hosted a short tv intervew/performance series for Shaw Cable to honor travelling singer/songwriters called "Canadian Songsmith" with guests like Fred Eaglesmith, David Essig, Bill Bourne, Pat Temple, Will Millar, Joe Hall and Diamond Joe White.
