Boondock at the Whistle Stop

Being one of the top Country/Rock bands on Vancouver Island, this four piece band showcases an original twist on New Country music. Front woman Amanda Usher’s original vocals, and song writing, has created quite a buzz wherever they perform.
The band started in 2009, when Amanda’s love for Country music took over. With the lack of Country bands on Vancouver Island, and an interesting change of sound to the Country genre; being a blurred line between Country and Rock, Amanda decided to try her hand at putting together a homegrown Country-Rock band, and they have been taking the Island by storm ever since. “Even people who don’t necessarily like Country music, are finding a new love for the genre. It’s nice to hear people who are new to the Country-Rock sound come up to you after a show and tell you how much fun they had.” Says Amanda.
Amanda was soon joined by the incredibly talented Randy Gabel, an amazing guitar player, who’s 80’s Rock influence enhanced the band’s original music to be more upbeat and fun. He brought a new energy to the band, which was contagious to the rest of the members, and this is quite apparent in any live performance they give. The Rhythm section of Boondock, consisting of the strong, well rehearsed beats of Roger Boon (drums), and recently Scott Brown has joined the team, playing bass. Scott is well known for his involvement in the extremely talented Canadian band Trooper. Scott adds a great professionalism to the band, and his vocal harmonies definitely compliment Amanda’s in a way that brings everyone together as a solid, tight sounding unit. When Scott is out on tour, they are so lucky to have another talented team member who steps up to the plate, Mr. Ricky Renouf on bass guitar.
