what we love for a living. I had a great time - see you down the road!" - Deric Ruttan

COMMODORE BALLROOM
"Brody, Lines and Ruttan each do individual sets, coming together only for the beginning and the ending of the show. Behind them, a sizzling "A" list band makes the musical accompaniment seamless and polished. One of the many things I love about country music is that the players play for keeps. No sloppy chops here - country musicians
recognize that virtuosity is part of their lineage - and so they do it right." - CBC Radio 2 Canada Live > http://www.cbc.ca/radio2/cod/concerts/20110923brody

“Another unique aspect will come in the middle of the shows, Ruttan said, when the

an unplugged session.” - www.kamloopsthisweek.com
