Vintage 4.0
Vintage is possibly the most versatile cover band on the Island. Donnie Bowers and Tim MacPherson team up as Vintage 2.0, described on their website as “a duke-it-out, down-and-dirty, grass-roots acoustic duo.” When they are in need of a bigger sound they call in bassist Chris Buote and drummer Nat Lamoureux to fill out the sound and morph into the full-blow rock band Vintage 4.0.

Different Drummers
by Jaclyn Killins
Moe Hashie
Some of Moe Hashie’s most euphoric moments have taken place while sitting on his drum stool. The first time he got this feeling was when he was at a gig at the legion when he was 16 years old. “I’m always trying to reach that euphoria, I strive for it,” he said.

A Different Drummers

David Cyrus MacDonald
Before a recent show in Peterborough, Ontario the Paper Lions mulled about their tour van. Drummer David, clad in red plaid, mustachioed with blue eyes peeking from long bangs, produced a cooler full of PEI oysters and started shucking, handing out oysters to locals and friends alike.

A Different Drummers
by Jaclyn Killins
Nat Lamoureaux
When the bell rings for lunch, most elementary school kids gobble down their food and head to the playground. Not Nathaniel Lamoureux. Lunchtime was his chance to hit up the music room and have the drum kit all to himself. When Christmas holidays came, the teachers let Nat take the kit home.

A Different Drummer
by Jaclyn Killins
Danny Miles
The Meds’ drummer Danny Miles is quiet and relaxed when he drums. His kit is modest and his actions subtle. His posture is impeccable and he looks out from his drums with a relaxed interest.

As a girl from Ontario I feel like I’m crashing a party when I get to experience the intimate yet endless talent of the music scene on PEI, so I was feeling giddy when I scored tickets to the PEI Music Awards.

Brady MacDonlad
Powerhouse rock band Battery Point has one of the most entertaining drummers on the Island in Brady MacDonald. Stick tricks and talent aside, it's the fire with which the 25 year old hits the drums that makes him mesmerizing.

Abegweit Chimes Perform in Ch'town and S'side

Abegweit Chimes '08
Before I sat in at an Abegweit Chimes practice I thought a barbershop chorus was made up of robust men in suits and saddle shoes. I couldn’t have been more wrong. Thriving on Prince Edward Island is an award-winning a capella chorus made up of 36 vibrant and talented women of all ages.

Talking Bands

Matt Harper, Gerard MacInnis and Tim Kelly
During a recent Acorn Rangers show at Hunter’s Ale House the keyboard player of Loudlove, Emile Leitch, who was seriously wounded in a car accident this summer, sat in for a song. Jaws dropped and eyes bugged out around the bar as they laid out a steaming funky jam. In the middle of it all, Leitch started bleeding from the head. They tried to slow down for him but the guy wouldn’t stop. “He was nuts man, he was rad,” Tim said.
