Wooden Horsemen is a seven-piece “neo-swamp rock” outfit from Vancouver.
It started more or less as the singer-songwriter project of Steve Beddall (in fact the project used to be called Wooden Horseman...singular).
Over the past few years it has grown into a high energy genre-smashing party experience.
Folks from the Cariboo might remember them lighting the place up when they headlined Saturday night at Arts on the Fly 2016.
They’ve busted their backs playing festivals all over B.C., including a coveted spot at Tall Tree Music Festival.
Since rocking the AOF stage last summer they’ve finished a brand new record, Sentient.
They’ll be bringing their set to the Arts Centre this Friday March 4.
Opening the night is the premier gig for local soon-to-be-favourites Bush Party.
I must admit I was worried when they told me the name they had settled on, but was pleasantly surprised to see their bizarre and self-reflexive youtube video, Flock O’ Sausage Links.
I can’t wait to see these cats in their glory.
