Radim Zenkl
|
|
|
Original music which crosses the tracks of string jazz, new age, bluegrass, flamenco, gypsy, Irish, middle Eastern and classical music, combined with Czech and Eastern European traditional songs and instrumentals. Besides the standard mandolin Radim, who hails from the Czech Republic, uses many instruments of the mandolin family such as mandola, Irish bouzouki and also many ethnic flutes from various countries around the world and the didgeridoo. Radim has extended the technical possibilities of the mandolin by inventing new styles of playing which sometimes allow him to sound like two instruments simultaneously. Radim has released five solo CDs, the latest one is called Restless Joy and collaborated on more than fifty recordings for other musicians. www.zenkl.com |

The Bills |
|
|
These guys tore it up at the Strawberry Music Festival. From Vancouver Island on Canada’s beautiful West Coast comes this extraordinary quintet, renowned among music fans of all ages for their masterful musicianship, lush vocal arrangements, exuberant live performances, evocative songwriting, and wonderfully innovative interpretations of traditional tunes from around the globe. The Bills (under their former name, The Bill Hilly Band) exploded onto the North American folk music scene in 2002 with the release of their second cd, the award-winning All Day Every Day. Since then they have quickly gained international recognition as one of folk music’s most inventive, talented, and entertaining acoustic acts. Drawing inspiration from a melange of European stylings, the rhythms of Latin America, the melodies of the wandering Romany peoples, and traditional styles from musical coast to musical coast of their own continent, The Bills have forged a sophisticated down home style all their own that’s being celebrated enthusiastically by fans and media everywhere. www.thebills.ca |
