2014 Full Program
WELCOME TO SUMMERFEST,
WELCOME TO DEEP RIVER!
We are so glad you are here, and we are super excited to
present our best festival yet!
Whether you are here for the first time or you are a
seasoned, grizzled Summerfester, keep this program
close, as it will be your guide and compass to finding your
way to Summerfest's multitude of exciting events and
performances.
This year, Summerfest is branching out musically, by
offering an additional stage for daytime performances,
four big daytime shows on our Main Stage, and almost
double the number of local and touring performers playing
live!
Canada's newest supergroup, Mounties, is anchoring our
festival this year, with more support than ever before from
a wide range of rising and established Canadian artists.
We have something for you this year, if you like country, alt
country, rock, electric roots, bluegrass, pop, classical
(vocal and woodwind trio), avant-garde musical theatre,
buzz blues, EDM, do wop, indie, retro, acoustic, Guinean
drumming, looping or Ottawa Valley fiddling!
Summerfest is not just a music festival, though. We have
outdoor Shakespearean theatre, natural horsemanship
and artists in their gardens. And more artisans in our
village than ever before.
For the sporty types, we are focusing on building our
favourite competitive events like 3 on 3 basketball, beach
volleyball, ultimate frisbee, 3 on 3 soccer, tandem canoe
and, brand new, Summerfest's own version of the amazing
race—come cheer on your favourite team!
Looking to learn something new and interact with visiting
performers? Attend a workshop! You can learn to step
dance, learn a fiddle tune, learn to hand drum, learn about
writing musical theatre, learn to play ukulele, learn about
magic and science tricks, work on your improv skills, or
juggle and use a yoyo like a pro
If all these events and visiting all the artisans, commercial
vendors and community groups in our expanded Food &
Artisans Village makes you hungry, then Summerfest has
something new for you, too! There will be more food
vendors, including Summerfest's own Nosh Pit, and a
tapas-style restaurant will be operating out of the Yacht
Club, offering weekend breakfast/brunch until 12:30 pm,
and dinner Friday and Saturday.
Summerfest cannot come into existence every two years
without the dedication and support of countless
volunteers. We consider ourselves extremely lucky to be
able to put on this festival in such a beautiful town, on the
banks of the gorgeous Ottawa River, and with such
unconditional community support. To every one of our
volunteers—thank you.
If you like what you see at Summerfest and you would like
to help out in any way, feel free to approach a Summerfest
committee member this weekend, or any time. And please
feel especially invited to help us clean up on Monday
morning, starting at 9 am!
We hope you enjoy what we have created for you—have
a fun, happy and safe Summerfest!

Going Green
This year, in an effort to reduce our recyclable waste
handling and generation of non-recyclable waste, we are
using cans for beer at our beer garden and bar locations.
We are also increasing our use of recycling bins to ensure
that recyclables are properly sorted and that minimal
recyclables are placed in the garbage. Our Green Team
meets each morning to make sure that the Summerfest
area is clean. Our post-Summerfest Monday clean-up is a
huge task even for all our regular dedicated volunteers.
The Summerfest committee encourages anyone to come
Monday morning with a rake and gloves, and we will find
something cleany-uppy for you to do! The most important
part of Summerfest Going Green involves you. Please do
your part by using the recycling and waste bins correctly,
and if you spy that something is amiss or that some people
have horrible aim, especially later in the evenings, then
please consider placing an extra bit or two you find on the
grass into the proper bin. Summerfest always seeks to give
back to the community, and by helping us go green, we
can give back to the planet as well.
Activity Passport (NEW)
Participate in an activity passport challenge during
Summerfest—a new activity for everyone at Summerfest!
After you pick up an official passport from a Summerfest
wristband tent, you can attend sponsored Summerfest
events and/or visit participating businesses, and get your
event or business visit passports stamped. Submit your
passports to the ICA Office on Champlain Street, or the ICA
Tent by the upper gate by 5 pm Sunday, for two prize draws
for a tablet computer Sunday evening at the Main Stage.
Two chances to win—one each for event and business

Arrogant Worms
Amazing Race
Main Stage Sunday
9:45 PM – 10:15 PM
Sponsor: Innovation Canada Alliance
Main Stage Saturday
10 AM – 12 PM
Since their
formation in
1991, the
Arrogant
Worms have
become a
Canadian institution. Funny, clever and with
incredibly catchy and memorable tunes to back
up their cutting wit and quirky humour, the
Worms have been called “Canada's secret weapon number one” by VH1.com and have worked
with artists ranging from the Edmonton
Symphony Orchestra to actors Nathan Filion and
Ed Cavanagh. The Worms have made numerous
appearances in Deep River and the Valley
including several at Summerfest, and are always
wildly entertaining and massively popular. This
year should be no exception.
Based on the TV show, Summerfest's own
Amazing Race will have teams of two racing
through Deep River to complete a series of
challenges. Each team will receive clues leading
to various Summerfest venue locations where
they will have to complete a challenge before
receiving their next clue. Challenges may be
physical, artistic, intellectual, or just plain silly!
The first team back to the finish with the best
time wins.
This event is geared toward adults, but ages
16+ may participate (age 12-15 may
participate if their teammate is an adult). Preregistration is required at the ICA office.
Beach Volleyball
Tournament
Lamure Beach
Sunday 10:00 AM – 4:00 PM
Our biennial Beach Volleyball Tournament is one of Summerfest's signature events and a fantastic
celebration of summer in Deep River. Enter your own team or
just come out to watch all the digs, dives and last minute
saves at Lamure Beach. There will be divisions: competitive
and recreational. This event is the perfect way to enjoy the
summer sunshine and cheer on your friends and family with
four courts of spectacular beach volleyball action.

Canada's most majestic creatures while learning fascinating
facts from The Canadian Raptor Conservancy demonstrators,
who reach over one million people each year. A fun and fascinating experience for all ages.

Workshop
Town of Deep River Yacht Club
Saturday 1:30 PM – 2:30 PM
Summerfest is thrilled to once again be hosting A Company of Fools, Ottawa's only professional
outdoor Shakespeare theatre group. Fools' productions combine physical theatre techniques of clown,
mask, and puppetry with classical text, making Shakespeare fun and accessible to all ages! This
festival the Fools are presenting As You Like It, directed by Scott Florence , and starring Catriona Leger,
Matthew J. Lundvall, Kate McArthur, Geoff McBride, and Katie Ryerson in a plethora of roles and
lightning quick costume changes. As You Like It is the story of Rosalind. She's the girl who becomes the
boy to get the boy who wants the girl. Sound confusing? No more so than your average love affair! Love
and Romance are equal parts celebrated and skewered in this timeless tale of a woman disguised to
win her love.

Cobra du Mandingue
Sponsor: Steps Count & THEOP
DJ Colour Wolf
Main Stage
Sunday 7:00 PM – 8:00 PM

Friday 10:30 PM – 11:30 PM
A group from the Ottawa region inspired by
West-African rhythms, particulary from GuineaConakry, Cobra du Mandingue is composed of
Africans and Canadians - men and women,
dancers and drummers – who are brought
together by the same passion. A group who
walked together along the paths of Guinea, it
will bring its energy to you with different
traditional instruments, not to mention the
visual dimension of the choreography and their
traditional costumes. Be prepared for an
unforgettable experience! Their performance is
sponsored by Steps Count/THEOP.
Colour Wolf, raised by humans in Deep River who
named him James Jones, has been “putting the
two in 'two step', the shake in 'shake your booty',
the unusual in 'it's not unusual' and the parsley
in 'parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme' since
2009”. Colour Wolf spent 3 years in Taiwan
cutting his teeth and making a name for himself.

During this time, he also DJed at parties,
festivals and in night clubs. More recently he's
been applying his 'skills' on western Canadian
FM radio airwaves. His weekly show runs at 5pm

For better or worse, his mix of contemporary
dance, funky soul and anything bizarre has
earned him a reputation as a perennially fresh
disk jockey.

do, what to listen for, etc… Contrary to what you might expect, Danny finds inspiration in

knows the stage is his true home. He will also be performing with Searson on the Main

Saturday 11:00 AM – 11:45 AM
Sunday 9:00 AM – 10:30 AM
Summerfest invites you to revisit those high
school memories at the various reunions hosted
at the Yacht and Tennis Club. With events
starting Friday night, there will be opportunities
for MHS alumni of every era to reconnect with old
classmates, reminisce about old times, and
celebrate the amazing achievements of MHS
students and alumni over the years. Come see
who is hiding in the crowd, bring your old photos,
and check out the retrospective slide show
Strength is liberty. This is the motto that Katja
Fritzsche lives by when it comes to training
horses. Join her every weekend morning as she
demonstrates a different way of interacting with
these majestic creatures. Katja will show her
audiences how horsemanship doesn't have to be
all about competition. When you take away the
seriousness from traditional horse-riding and it
is no longer about winning trophies, it can
become an incredibly fun and fulfilling activity,
both for the rider and for the horse. Look for Katja
on Thursday and Friday, too!

It Came from Deep River
AECL New Stage
Power Hour
Flower Hour
Saturday 4:30 PM – 5:30 PM Sunday 5:00 PM – 6:00 PM
It Came from Deep River started at Summerfest 1996 as “an uncensored, unadjudicated, auditory
showcase of local musical talent and guts”. Since then, this 'participation-performance' event has
provided opportunities for over 100 local or ex-local performers to gain live stage experience, try
something new artistically or get back into performing after a long break. There have been songwriting
competitions, assigned covers (Black Flag : TV Party), What's That Coming from Deep River, 2 Songs
Came From Deep River, Cover Band Scramble and other incarnations. This Summerfest, ICFDR is
coagulating into two distinct life forms:
ICFDR Power Hour
The ICFDR Power Hour is based on Much Music's namesake—an hour of hard and heavy metal music.
Two of Deep River's heavier genre bands will be showcasing their skills.
ICFDR Flower Hour
The ICFDR Flower Hour serves as a contrast to its sister show. The Flower Hour will be
an opportunity for performers with (relatively) softer sounds to delight their
audiences with less of an 'in-your-face' approach to musical expression.
For more information on local performers, check out our special Summerfest
entertainment supplement, available at local performer stages, including the Big
Shiny Windows Saturday Night Main Stage lineup!

Miss Polygamy
Main Stage
Friday 9:15 PM – 9:45 PM
Dirty indie rock with a textured folky elegance. Miss Polygamy's
eclectic hybrid of multiple genres has a modern feel fueled by a
contemporary throwback. Their energetic live shows have landed
them several major festivals and opening slots for Yukon Blonde,
Alice in Chains and Bend Sinister. The success from last year's
debut release, One Night Stand, led to several sold out shows, radio play and a closing day
performance on the main stage at RBC Bank Bluesfest. With a showcase at this year's Canadian Music
Week already under their belt, along with summer tour plans and upcoming appearances at
Kitchissippi Music Festival and Summerfest, Miss Polygamy hopes to expand their ever-growing loyal
fanbase.

Mike McCormick
Master of Ceremonies All Weekend Long
Mike McCormick (M.Sc. '92, Queen's) is one of the founding members of the Arrogant
Worms, Canada's best-known musical comedy group and a Summerfest favourite.
He is an accomplished musician and songwriter as well as a mediocre golfer and
tennis player. He has lived in Greater Madawaska for longer than it has been called
Greater Madawaska and often pines for the days when it could simply be called Bagot, Brougham and
Blythfield. Besides driving his 2 kids around and performing with the Worms, Mike can also be seen
monthly at the Neat Cafe in Burnstown as the host of "Soundcheck".
Much Video Dance
Town Hall Parking Lot
Friday 10:00 PM – 1:00 AM

events at this year's Summerfest. With the Much
DJs taking requests and giving out prizes all
night long, this will be an exciting event to not
miss!

Sunday 4:00 PM – 5:00 PM
Pat Degagne (Lead Vocal & Rhythm Guitar) and Colin Baird (Backup Vocal & Lead Guitar) started
Ofrroad in 2004. The intent was to create a country and rock cover band that would play at local bars
and private parties. From its very first performance, the band became
a hit! In 2010, Offroad underwent a transformation acquiring Eric
Degagne (backup vocal & keys), Steve Panke (backup vocal & bass)
and Tom Martel (drums). The band now performs at festivals and
concerts, up and down the Ottawa Valley, through to North Bay and
has performed with various celebrity musicians. Special for this year,
Summerfest is pleased to announce that in addition to bringing you your favourite high-energy
dancing music, Offroad will be celebrating the release of their self-titled first CD with a performance of
original music from the CD on Sunday afternoon! With help from Johnny Reid's old bandmates, who
played on the CD, this promises to be a unique Offroad performance—not to be missed!

Veda Hille: Performance &
Thoughts on Musical Theatre
Town of Deep River Yacht club
Sunday
Performance 1:15 PM – 2:15 PM
Workshop 2:15 PM – 3:15 PM (following a short break)
Born August 11, 1968 into a nice family in Vancouver, Canada, Veda started playing piano in 1974.
Childhood interests included plants, books, microscopes, science fiction, and psychiatry. She attended
art college in the late 80s and started writing music. Now, Veda makes
records, writes musical theatre, scores films, teaches songwriting, tours,
and generally keeps busy. She will show you her world of musical theatre,

You Want What I Have Got? (A Craigslist Cantata), co-written with Bill
Richardson. Interested in how she does it? Join her after her performance
as she talks to her audience about the process behind musical theatre

James
Main Stage
Sunday 8:15 PM Hill
Part of the James Hickey Realty Sunday Night Linenup
A native of Langley, British Columbia, James Hill began playing
the ukulele through an elementary school music program and
was immediately hooked. Since then, he has played in numerous
international and Canadian festivals and has released five
albums including True Love Don't Weep in 2009, a collaboration
with Canadian cellist Anne Janelle, which won Traditional Album
of the Year at the Canadian Folk Music Awards. Hill's versatility as a musician is demonstrated in the
breadth of his repertoire. Not limited to traditional ukulele folk, his live shows have included forays
into hip-hop influenced, beat-driven ukulele “sound sculptures”, and his most recent record, Man
With a Love Song, spans soulful big-band jazz, barrelhouse-bluegrass and spoken-word-andjunkyard-percussion. Across these varying styles, the honest thoughtfulness and “hard-won wisdom”
in Hill's lyrics prove him to be a powerful new voice in Canadian songwriting. Called “a dazzling live
performer” and “utterly world-class in every respect”, Hill's lyrical mastery, his virtuosity on an often
under-respected instrument, and his low-key sense of humour is a powerful combination that has
garnered fans worldwide. Folk Radio UK has described his live performances as “equal parts
disarming, captivating and mind-boggling”. In other words, just right for Summerfest!
The Abrams Brothers
Main Stage Sunday 1:30 PM
Canadian troubadours The Abrams Brothers grew up playing
music in an atmosphere where family musical collaborations
were practically tradition. John and James Abrams have been on
stage in the family business since they were 7 and 10 years old,
and have been performing their seamless fusion of bluegrass,
country and folk-rock together as The Abrams Brothers for over
ten years. Named Emerging Artist of the Year at the 2005
Canadian Bluegrass Music Awards, The Abrams Brothers have been a constant on the Canadian
festival circuit and their performance at Summerfest is not to be missed.

Searson
Main Stage
Saturday 3:30 PM
Sisters Erin and Colleen Searson have been touring
their original style of high energy fiddling, passionate
vocals, and step dancing in Canada and
internationally for well over a decade. Natives of the
Ottawa Valley, Erin and Colleen were immersed in the
Ottawa Valley musical tradition from a young age,
studying music and step dancing, and performing and competing at local competitions. Their sound
combines Ottawa Valley style with Celtic, East Coast and Scottish influences, and the sisters are joined
for performances by Danno O'Shea on percussion and Fraser Gauthier on bass/guitar. Searson has
enthralled Summerfest audiences numerous times at previous festivals and returns this year for
another energetic and mesmerizing performance.
Runaway Angel
Main Stage Thursday 9:45PM
Rising country artist and long-time Summerfest
performer Ann Chaplin, along with fellow Runaway
Angels Cadence Grace and Stacey Zegers, will be
gracing our stage on Thursday, July 31st, our opening
night! The group's vocal sound sets them above the
crowd, and their compelling songwriting has already
led to an ever-increasing string of offers for bigger and
bigger shows. Summerfest is lucky to have Runaway Angel drop by for a visit, on their way to Boots &
Hearts and the big time!

Mounties
Main Stage Sunday 11:30 PM
Part of the James Hickey Realty Sunday Night Linenup
It began as a group hug in 2009, evolved into a spectacular improvised two-week recording session
three years later, and is now unofficially dubbed Canada's newest musical supergroup. Composed of
Canadian alternative-rock royalty, Hawksley Workman, Ryan Dahle, Steve Bays, and joined at
Summerfest by Parker Bossley on
bass, Mounties has been thrilling
audiences coast-to-coast with their
groovy 80s-laced fuzzed-out
grunge synth-pop enthusiasm and
is set to take on the Summerfest
Main Stage in a highly anticipated
Sunday night concert!
Their debut album, released to
critical acclaim in March of this
year, has been described as a
“Lamborghini ride through outer space on warp speed with a glass of wine in hand and headphones
on” (SouthernSouls). If that description doesn't draw you in, consider the talent and experience that
the trio shares; Workman, Dahle and Bays have all earned their place amongst Canada's foremost
musicians through their work with various solo and collaborative musical projects, including Hot Hot
Heat and Age of Electric, and are each sought-after producers in their own right.
The recent winners of the SiriusXM 2014 Indie Award for Emerging Artist of the Year and long-listed for
a 2014 Polaris Prize, Mounties has been causing some serious buzz. Maybe it's the improvisational yet
addictively catchy quality of their songs, all of which begin from the ground up in jam sessions, the
group's preferred means of collaboration. Or maybe it's their spectacularly energized live shows, which
have been known to send crowds “into fits,” and demonstrate that this is a group who is genuinely
excited to share their newest musical project. Either way, Mounties' Sunday night show promises to be
an exhilarating ride; the perfect match for capping off another fantastic Summerfest weekend.
