The Company that produced the critically successful shows of Acoustic Floyd and Acoustic Zeppelin, presents Muskoka’s only Fleetwood Mac show, ACOUSTIC FLEETWOOD MAC! From the Blues origins of the band’s 60s era led by Peter Green, to the era that took the world by storm in the 70s and 80s with its additions of Lindsay Buckingham and Stevie Nicks, ACOUSTIC FLEETWOOD MAC delivers acoustic remixes of the groups biggest hits, as well as an entire performance of the legendary album Rumours. Two female vocalists and one male vocalist deliver the three-part harmony vocals that we have known to love from Nicks, McVie, and Buckingham. Acoustic Fleetwood Mac’s two guitar players deliver the great guitar work of both Lindsay Buckingham and the late great Peter Green.

The music is executed by Sean Cotton on 6 and 12 string acoustic guitar, foot percussion, and lead vocals; Tamica Herod on lead vocals and hand percussion; Liz Anderson on lead vocals and hand percussion; George Axon on acoustic and electric guitars; Mike Phillips on bass guitar.

Their debut 6-song CD was nominated for a 2014 Canadian Folk Music Award for Vocal Group of the Year, and they have become an audience favourite.

The Company that brought the sold-out shows of Acoustic Floyd and Acoustic Fleetwood Mac to Hollow Valley Resort, presents Muskoka’s only Led Zeppelin show, ACOUSTIC ZEPPELIN!

From Blues and Old English Folk music influences to Moroccan and Middle Eastern beats and melodies, ACOUSTIC ZEPPELIN is a musical journey around the acoustic world of Zeppelin. Featuring the mandolin, 12 string acoustic guitar, violin and fiddle, along with layered 6 string acoustic and electric guitars, and the signature thunder of John Bonham’s drums, the show presents the Zeppelin songs as they were performed on record and on stage. These instruments are also used to retexture some of Zeppelin’s classic “electric” songs, shape shifting them into the acoustic realm. Two vocalists sing in tandem to deliver this diverse range of material, also bringing to life the recorded harmony vocal performances that were rarely recreated on stage.

The music is executed by Sean Cotton on acoustic guitar, and lead vocals; Tamica Herod on lead vocals; George Axon on 6 and 12 string acoustic guitars, electric guitar, and mandolin; Wayne Ferguson on fiddle and mandolin; Mike Phillips on bass guitar; Rich Howard on drums

Acoustic Floyd is Muskoka’s only Pink Floyd show. A textured take on the Floyd’s catalogue that reflects some of the music’s seldom thought of attributes. David Gilmour’s lapsteel that slides across a lot of the band’s records. The ever featured female background vocals reminiscent of gospel choirs. The solo saxophone that wails as much as Gilmour’s guitar. Then there’s the acoustic guitar playing singer/songwriter that is Roger Waters, and the early years with Syd Barrett. Acoustic Floyd presents a beautiful twist on the twistedly beautiful music of Pink Floyd.

The band features Sean Cotton on acoustic guitar, lead vocals, and foot drumming; Tamica Herod and Liz Anderson on lead/backing vocals, and percussion; George Axon on lapsteel and guitars, Chris Hess on saxophones, clarinet, bass, and lead/backing vocals; Mike “Lopez” Phillip’s on bass guitar, and accordion.
