Music on the Dock - Mark Wonneck
2023-08-18 19:00 - 21:30 (America/Vancouver) | BC
A veteran of folk festivals and concert stages, Mark Wonneck is a gifted song-writer, story-singer, singer-of-songs, story-teller… all
the combinations. He is probably best known as Larry Douglas, one half of the folk-comedy duo, The Douglas Brothers, who emerged out of Winnipeg onto the folk scene in the late eighties.
While he still likes to perform as a Douglas Brother whenever he can, more recently he has developed a well-earned reputation as a captivating and insightful solo performer. His songs can be tender, goofy, intense, thought-provoking and gritty – sometimes all at once.
Audiences can expect to laugh, cry, remember things they’ve long forgotten, and in the end wonder when they will be able to hear him again.

Music on the Dock - Joe Stanton
2023-07-07 19:00 - 21:30
Americana meets fingerstyle guitar”.
Take the musical traditions of folk, bluegrass, country and let them simmer over a few dozen Canadian winters, add a little virtuoso woodshed finger-style guitar, lyrics from life, and you have Joe Stanton. From the World Finger-picking championships in Kansas to ski resorts of Switzerland, festivals across North America, coffee houses, concerts, bars, trains and even a hot air balloon. Joe has been playing his Martin D28 “wherever they’ll listen”. His genres range from bluegrass, to contemporary folk, to alt country.
These days you can find Joe working on his next recording, live streaming on the world wide web, performing around his home on the Sunshine coast of BC, and touring the west coast from Vancouver Island to Washington and Oregon.
