It may be 10 months away, but the Salmon Arm Roots and Blues Festival has announced three acts — Canned Heat, Oysterband and the Stooges Brass Band.
Forty-five years ago, Canned Heat was one of the headliners at Woodstock and retains some of the original members, including drummer Adolfo de la Parra and bassist Larry Taylor, along with Dale Sparling on harmonica, guitar and lead vocals and John Paulus on guitar.
Oysterband has also been around for almost 40 years, during which time it has been blurring the likes between traditional and punk folk and folk rock in the United Kingdom.
The Stooges Brass Band started to make its name known in 1996, based out of New Orleans.
Trombone Shorty once was a member, before heading out on his own, but the band continues to bring classic New Orleans music and spirit to its performances.
Tickets are on sale now for the festival, which runs from Aug. 14 to Aug. 16.
