Follow Your Heart Band is BC & Canada’s best of the best! A group of highly sought & award-winning musicians – Chris Rolin, Bruce Morrison, Kyle Radomsky, and Mike Sanyshyn, joined by special guest singers Tianna Lefebvre, and Gord Maxwell.

Mike Sanyshyn & Tianna Lefebvre are co-founders of the B.C. blue grass band Jackson Hollow. Lead singer Tianna is a 4 time BCCMA Award winner, including Female Vocalist of the year. She has performed with Shania Twain, Michelle Wright and Charlie Major, as well as at numerous BCCMA & CCMA events.

Mike has toured with Grammy-nominated songwriter Deric Ruttan, Aaron Pritchett, and One More Girl.

Brass Camel is a unique Vancouver-based rock group who recently released their debut album, mixed by multiple Juno-winner Ben Kaplan. Made up of five experienced young musicians, their collective accomplishments include performing at New York’s Apollo Theater, jamming with guitar icon Les Paul, racking up countless studio sessions and covering hundreds of thousands of miles on the road before coming together. Brass Camel’s singular sound mashes together the diverse influences of prog, funk, blues rock and fusion then ties them together with the kind of neat bow only attained by five musicians who are gunning for glory on the same frequency. The band’s musicianship, songwriter and work ethic have led to endorsements from such companies as Sabian, Rotosound UK and Los Cabos. After a string of consecutive sell-out shows in Vancouver, the Camel embarked on their first national tour of Canada, a successful 13,500km undertaking which sets the stage for the band to tour extensively in the months and years to come.

Gord Maxwell is known for his many number-one Canadian Country hits fronting the band One Horse Blue and The Gords. His voice continues to be heard on Canadian country radio on a daily basis. Gord has toured with Canadian legend Ian Tyson for 20+ years and is currently the bassist and a vocalist in the legendary Canadian Music Hall of Fame rock band Chilliwack.
