Sarah Catherine Rutherford is a self-taught musician who views guitar playing as an art and tries to create something beautiful each time she picks up her instrument. This young blossoming artist will delight you with her originality and talent. At the young age of 18, Sarah is already a fantastic guitar player and has unlimited potential, so keep a close eye on her.

Plain Folk, the Side Door’s ‘house band’, made up of Isabelle Delage, Mick Perreaux, Leigh Redding & Val Teodori, is back and will perform a special brand of relaxed entertainment. They combine the versatility of vocal harmonies and a host of string and other instruments and generally just have a great time on stage!

Looking beyond the music, because people are drawn into more than just sounds, the lifestyle and philosophy expressed by Rob Heath’s persona is just as appealing as the music itself. We all have things we wish we could say. Rob decided to say them with rich melodies and lyrics delivered in a voice haunting in its simplicity. Rob uses words to paint pictures in the hearts and minds of his audience creating an emotional experience for each person as his music breathes life into every character. Rob was recently nominated for a Canadian Folk Music Award for “English Songwriter of the Year”. Check out his MySpace page for more information: www.myspace.com/robheathmusic
