Edmonton band the Unwed Mothers will perform at Whistle Stop’s Pride Weekend party, and may even dress to suit the event’s fairy tale theme.

“I’ll see what the boys say,” laughs vocalist, guitar and keys player, Julie Adams. “Maybe we can dig up some costumes.” The “boys” are fellow bandmates Michael James, Kurtis Schultz and Josh Eygenraam. They worked together on a few projects and jammed collectively before they joined forces with Adams to form Unwed Mothers.

Seth Macdonald and Shara Gustafson, best known for fronting the funk/rock/reggae/world groove high-energy dance band Mamaguroove, have ventured into new musical territory.

Samson’s Delilah will feature an acoustic twist that is heavily influenced by Latin guitar, reggae and other world music. As a duo, Macdonald and Gustafson believe they create a powerful and passionate performance.

Local artists Sharon Anderson and Marla Joy Pollock have joined forces to create a sacred space.
