MENT
THE DAZ BAND
Coming all the way from the U.K. to Canada for their first time ever, The Daz Band is super stoked to be performing their world famous protest music at Druthers Festival on the September long weekend. The lead singer, Darren Nesbitt, is also the same fellow that started TheLightPaper.co.uk over in England. It’s the only other newspaper we know of that is very similar to Druthers and we are thrilled to be meeting him in person.
BLIND JOE
The rowdy, non-stop rebel soul known as Blind Joe is coming from the midwest USA to grace the stage at Druthers Festival. Many of you will already know him from his popular protest song, I Will Not Comply. You may have also seen Blind Joe wowing the judges on season 9 of The Voice. With his quick witted sense of humor, original country music, and energetic stage presence, Blind Joe is tapping his way quickly into the hearts and minds of people all over the United States & Canada.
FIVE TIMES AUGUST
Five Times August is the solo act of singer / songwriter Brad Skistimas. In early 2021 Five Times August began releasing a series of protest songs taking aim at Covid-era regulations, the Biden administration, Justin Trudeau, as well as Anthony Fauci with the hit song “Sad Little Man,” which reached #1 on several Amazon and Apple Music charts. This will be Brad’s first time ever performing in Canada and we are thrilled to be having him on stage at Druthers Festival.
