Kent Fiddy and David Sinclair are Juno,B.C. Country Music and VancouverIsland Music Award nominees. They are artists who weave the past and contemporary into a unique tapestry. The

Ripple Rock (B.C), Ice Road (NWT), The Heart of the Country, (Prairies and Ontario), Farley
on a Harley, (Maritimes), and Bob Bartlett, (Nfd.). And yet, there is so much more…. songs of
the heart about relationships, reconciliation and hope
These are authentic, well-crafted and unforgettable songs which come out of their experiences working and touring.
They include Forever, My B.C.,(written with Gary Fjellgaard and named one of Canada's 50 top folk songs).

David Sinclair’s brilliant solo songs and guitar compositions display his stellar musicianship, vocal ability and forty years of professional touring and recording experience. Together, with impeccable harmonies, they combine as an original mix of pop, Celtic, country and jazz-infuenced roots.
This is Canadiana Roots Music at its very best.

Chater to Almo-Irving Music and had material released in Canada, the United States,
Australia and Europe. His writing travels took him to Toronto, Los Angeles and Nashville

Their shows are filled with warmth and humor as they tell stories about the songs and show a
respect and appreciation for their audiences. Inspired, evocative and compelling, join Kent
Fiddy and his musical partner David Sinclair as they take you on a journey across the curve
