Sid has long been a singer/guitarist performing his original songs about western Canada at various venues and on radio. Among his writing projects, his most recent book of poetry “Old Man’s River – New & Collected Poems” is currently a finalist for the Banff Mountain Book Award. A few years back his nonfiction book “The Black Grizzly of Whiskey Creek” made the Globe and Mail’s Top 100 list and was shortlisted for the Governor General’s Award. It was a grand prize winner at the Banff Festival of Mountain Books. If we’re lucky, Sid may read us some of his work. Learn more about him at https://www.sidmarty.com/biography.
For this concert, Sid has teamed up with Alberta musicians Jim McLennan (lead guitar) and James Van Leeuwen (vocals and acoustic guitar) who are renowned musicians in their own rights. Wailback, based in Pincher Creek, concentrates on arrangements of songs about Alberta, featuring well-aged cowboys, crazy weather, despairing lovers, mountaineers, poets and some charismatic megafauna – as well as the common snipe and miscellaneous other critters.
