"Fine Live Music"

Quebec born and former Floridian, the master fiddler Matthew Menard began his musical career at the ripe age of 4.  Immediately (and with and with very few lessons), it became obvious to his mother and father that he could hear a song once and instantly play it! Matthew performed professionally throughout his childhood and teenage years, when he was "discovered" by the (late) great Charlie Daniels, who promptly gave him an official standing invitation to play with his band anytime he wanted to. Later in life, Matthew toured the USA with professional recording acts including Rascal Flatts, Big & Rich, and many other accomplish artists. His masterfully tasteful and often "scorching" violin virtuosity wins the hearts of everyone who hears him, as well as his proficiency on multiple other instruments and with his vocals. He has since settled in the Comox Valley much to the delight of music lovers in the area. 

This incredibly talented, highly acclaimed mandolin soloist and  multi instrumentalist hails from Denman Island BC. Tai is well known across the BC gulf Islands, Vancouver Island and beyond as a captivating soloist and musical savant. He is a rising star in many Canadian bluegrass, jazz and traditional music circles, as well as being the youngest member of the Endalls! But we don't begrudge him for it. Well... maybe just a little!

As a highly sought after professional guitarist, songwriter and vocalist, it's no surprise Britt is currently touring with multiple Vancouver Island recording artists. Including Carolyn Mark, Amy Mulion, The Show Goats and Cortes Rocks, he's one talented performer! Recently, Britt joined the Coastal Celebration Tour, sharing the stage with acclaimed musicians Carolyn Mark, John Borra, and Hank Pine. This gentle soul brings his exceptional solo, vocal and rhythm chops to the group. His unassuming and quiet nature belies the musical beast within! 

An accomplished songwriter, recording artist, award winning bassist, vocalist and multi instrumentalist, Dieter received top honours in both the BC & Canadian National Jazz Festivals as an electric bass soloist. He has since migrated to the double bass, discovering traditional fiddle/bluegrass music and has never looked back. But don't fret, his jazz and blues roots still run deep! More recently, Dieter co-wrote, produced and released The Sugar Maples first album (From Where You Are) recorded in Georgia, USA which is available on all streaming platforms. Dieter has also been known to pick a banjo or two!
