Seattle Firefighters Pipes & Drums  One of the country's best pipe bands is right here in our backyard. The Seattle Firefighters Pipes & Drums (SFP&D) was formed in 2004 to honor fallen police and firefighters killed in the line of duty. The band is made up of completely career Seattle firefighters who volunteer their time and energy to honor the fallen with bagpipes and drums. This volunteer organization is funded on donations and paying gigs. The tradition of bagpipes in the fire service dates back to the very first fire departments in the country who were made up mostly of Irish men who took the job out of pride but also because they couldn't find other work. The bagpipes became synonymous with both professions due to the many funerals of these dangerous occupations. Besides playing line of duty funerals, the band also participates in parades, fundraisers, charity events, parties, weddings, fire department ceremonies and here at the Stanwood-Camano Community Fair on Saturday, August 2nd. |

| Skagit
Rein Riders Ladies Equestrian Drill Team The team was formed in 1986 by a handful of women who  had a few things in common: Their love for horses and their desire to devote their spare time and energy to this love. The team has grown and developed into one of the most entertaining and exciting performance drill teams in the NW. They claimed the 1998 Freestyle Championship during a drill team competition. They enjoy traveling across the NW and performing at various rodeos, exhibitions, and parades...including the Stanwood-Camano Community Fair. Their performance is a fast-paced, high energy, musical show with full-size flags waving as they run, gallop and trot around the arena. They have earned the motto, “Fun, Fast, & Furious!”

| Whiskey Creek Lynyrd Skynyrd Tribute Band  For 25 years, Whiskey Creek has thrilled audiences all over the west coast as America's number one tribute to the legendary southern-rock band Lynyrd Skynyrd. Whiskey Creek not only
plays Lynyrd Skynyrd, they personify the group onstage bringing
the audience back in time 30 years as they blaze through
classics like Sweet Home Alabama, Gimme Three Steps, The
Breeze and their phenomenal note-for-note version of Lynyrd
Skynyrd's "Live" guitar opus Freebird. One of the most amazing
aspects of Skynyrd's music (and Whiskey Creek's tribute) is
that its fan base literally runs from 7 to 70 years old! This has
been proven everywhere they've played. "Thank you for the FANTASTIC show. You blew us (and the audience) away!" Carol Dooley: KISM 92.9 FM.

War Pigeon  The members of War Pigeon came together in 2005 with an undeniable thirst for something new. Experimenting with genres and trading influences, the trio searched for a sound that wasn't typical of the current scene. The result is a blend of lyrical and instrumental songs shaped by a jambalaya of backgrounds. Combing the power of rock n' roll with the eloquence of abandon jazz, War Pigeon is a street fight between Led Zeppelin and the Meters, while Miles Davis watches for cops. The ensuing performance reflects their energy and enthusiasm, providing audiences with a spontaneous, fluid experience that operates outside the boundaries of today's popular music. War Pigeon's latest album, Glacier, was recorded by the band in a cabin near Mt. Baker in the Washington Wilderness. Written, produced and mixed by the band, Glacier is a snapshot of contrasting aesthetics and belief in open expression. |

| South End String Band I  n these modern times of stormy confusion, one band looms on the horizon, offering an island of seeming sanity. The South
End String Band plays old-time fiddle music with 9 musicians
trained in Post-Modern Stress Syndrome Rescue. No, they
can't cure those nihilistic blues or Oprah withdrawal. They
can't help program your DVD or even stop a simple computer
virus. They don't know Wi-Fi from HI-Fi. Truth is, they barely
fell off the turnip truck when it comes to the 21st century; and
the 20th sort of missed them too. But for an hour, they'll set
your toes tappin, your foot stompin, your mood risin and your
hair on fire. Celtic, hoedowns, fiddle tunes, and post industrial
pre-computer blues. American roots music so nostalgic
you'll swear you smell the woodsmoke curlin off the banjos.
They'll take you to a place where the neighbors knew each
other's names, not their e-mail addresses. South End String
Band: music from the Good Old Daze !! |
