UPCOMING EVENTS

HEADWAY

Rock n’ Roll Dance Party

November 25, 2023

Headway is by far the hottest rock n’ roll band in the Shuswap. Not only are they talented musicians with years of experience, but they also put on a dynamic show that is as fun to watch as it is to listen and dance to all night long. They have been performing throughout the southern interior steadily since they formed in 2021 and bringing joy to audiences of all ages.
No wonder that they dazzle the crowds, because each of them has been playing most of their lives and often with some great bands. Keeping the beat going with high energy, drummer John Baxter also plays with Donnie McDougal, who was once with the Guess Who. Vocalist, Andrew Rocks has opened for the Headpins and plays occasionally with Darby Mills and lead guitarist and crowd pleaser John Noseworthy has been in several local bands. Ryan Guilbeault does more than just play bass, as he also a real showman who knows how to thrill an audience. On keyboards is Ron Salstrom, who started his first rock band at the tender age of nine and has worked with many great artists over the years.
It is not only how they play, but what they play that makes Headway shows so much fun. They perform not only the hits from the 60s to the 90s, but also the songs that were unique, eclectic, and special. Some of the bands they cover include Loverboy, the Cult, Van Halen and the Styx. Get ready for an exciting night of fabulous music and fun times with Headway, the band that knows how to party!
