Devin Cuddy has always made music his way, and some might argue, the hard way. As the son of one of Canada’s most beloved singer/

songwriters, Blue Rodeo’s Jim Cuddy, country rock has been the soundtrack to Devin’s entire life. But from the

moment Devin was drawn to playing music, he was determined to get as close as possible

to the sources of all the sounds he loved, whether they were made by rock and roll’s

founding fathers, the Grand Ole Opry’s honkytonk heroes,

or Jelly Roll Morton and the kings of jazz.

Hotel California, the Original Eagles Tribute Band puts their dedication, unique musical gifts, and an obsessive commitment to bringing the music of the Eagles to countless audiences around the globe. Hotel California has boldly taken the tribute band where none had gone before them, and changed an industry’s collective mind about how good a “tribute” band could really be. www.hotelcalifornia.ca. Presented by Meaford Hall

Few of Stevie’s acolytes likely have the same dedication as Dave Ryan, who has spent the

last decade getting the details just right as the front man of the Toronto-based band, The Stevie Ray Vaughan Experience. In addition to Dave’s attention to Stevie’s guitar work, vocal

stylings, and guitar tone, there are many other visual elements of the show including look-alike hats from Stevie’s favourite, Texas

Hatters. With thousands of hours of rehearsal under his belt, Dave has assembled the

perfect players to form Canada’s premier heartfelt tribute to Stevie Ray Vaughan and

Double Trouble. www.srvexperience.com Presented by Meaford Hall.
