Our 2014 Musical Line Up

Every year we try to bring you incredible musical performances and this year we have outdone ourselves! Take a look at the performers we have lined up for this years BeerFest.

THE DRYLAND BAND  
Beer Fest 2014 is happy to welcome back THE DRYLAND BAND! These guys bring the intimacy of a campfire ballad fused with the power of tribal percussion, sax, violin and guitars. They have had many great performances at many different festivals, and this year’s Beer Fest will be no exception!

Beer Fest 2014 is happy to welcome THE ORCHARD to its lineup!!! Their new single ‘Southern Ground’ just hit number one yesterday on 790 CFCW’s Top Canadian Singles chart, and has had over 32,000 spins on Soundcloud! Beer tastes even better when consumed with sweet melodies… don’t miss The Orchard!!!

We are pumped to have MITCHMATIC at this year’s Beer Fest.
Mitch is a former SONiC Band of the Month and is a local multi-instrumentalist that has to be seen to be believed!
Check out his tune ‘Why Don’t You Know’ – it has 50,000 views on YouTube!

These guys are an extremely tight and talented group of musicians. Don’t be surprised to hear an energetic rock original followed by a flawless Hendrix cover.
The Electric Religious just received a $10,000 recording grant from Rawlco Radio and we can’t wait to hear that next album! Don’t miss their set at Beer Fest.

The 2014 Edmonton Beer Fest is proud to add the truly unique talent of JESSICA DENISE to its musical lineup! Jessica is trained as a classical vocalist and has some formidable piano chops, and she now merges that background with her love of contemporary styles – creating a compelling “theatrical pop” sound that’s all her own. Her songwriting is very impressive, and her talent needs to be seen and heard to be believed. You can do just that at this year’s Beer Fest!

Another great addition to our 2014 musical lineup is local folk/country/bluegrass phenom SEAN BREWER!!! Sean’s songs are full of honesty and integrity, and he is a true Alberta original. Sean is a member of many local bands including The Uncas, The Switchmen, and Red Ram – among others. But it is when he performs solo that his heartfelt songs about the prairies and life’s ups and downs truly hit home. He even has an album called ‘Prairie Sentimentalist’ – recorded with Lethbridge’s own Treeline. You will want to tip a few beers when Sean hits the stage at the 2014 Beer Fest!
