Gary Saturday with MIP Power Trio

Gary Saturday:

Influenced by the nostalgic Americana of The Band and the soulful vocals & strong songwriting of artists like Ray LaMontagne, Jason Isbell, and Nathaniel Rateliff, Gary Saturday have crafted their own signature sound. 

When Garrett Scatterty embarked on recording his first solo album, he assembled a collective of like-minded, lifelong musicians and friends. With Taylor Gross on Keys, D’Arcy Booth on Bass, and Dylan Ranney on Drums they formed a collaboration of some of the Okanagan’s finest musicians. 

Drawing on each member’s versatile and unique strengths, they found a magical mix of musicianship that became known as Gary Saturday.

MIP Power Trio:

With catchy hooks and an unbridled energy, the Mip Power Trio has a “raw and wild” eclectic underground rock n roll sound developed through years of playing dive bars and music festivals across Canada. Mip’s quirky songwriting has been deemed “witty, cutting, astute and quirky” and the band’s loyal fans hail them as Toronto’s best kept secret.

The MIP Power Trio formed in 2010 less than a year after Mip landed in Toronto, alone, with a suitcase and 2 guitars determined to prove that a small town kid from northwestern BC could show the city a thing or two about how to wail. After scouring open mics and punk havens she met bassist Greg Kowalczyk and drummer Devin Janetta. Soon enough the band found a sound that blends the punchiness of old school punk a la Ramones, the upbeat weirdness of Doug and the Slugs, and the spirited lyrics of early Bruce Springsteen.
