THE SWEET LOWDOWN wil take you from a sunny front porch to the outer reaches of the universe.  Blending original songwriting and three part harmonies with an old time instrumental groove, this award winning acoustic roots trio creates a unique yet timeless sound that takes listeners on a pleasureable and memorable journey.

Drawn together by their mutual passion for old time music, hard driving bluegrass, sweet harmonies and well-wrought songs, The Sweet Lowdown (Amanda Blied-guitar, Shanti Bremer-banjo and Miriam Sonstenes-fiddle) pays homage to its musical roots while simultaneously breaking new ground.  Each member contributes to the band's original repertoire and each has a unique vocal flair as well as impressive instrumental chops.

Winners of the 2013 Island Roots Album of the Year (Vancouver Island Music Awards), Victoria's 2011 "M-Award" for Favorite Roots/World Music Group, and nominated for Island Artist of the Year and BC-Wide Artist of the Year at the 2011 Vancouver Island Music Awards, The Sweet Lowdown has the ability to play to, draw in, and excite a diverse audience - youngand old, lovers of traditional music as well as those new to it.

So don't miss this outstanding trio when they perform in The Upstairs Lounge at the Oak Bay Recreation Centre.   If have never been to this venue, you will be pleasantly surprised, it offers great atmosphere, outstanding food and drink (linced), a cozy fireplace, a dance floor, easy access, plenty of parking... come out and check for yourself!
