Thursday, July 9

Location: Whistler Olympic Plaza
Time: 6:30 PM
Opening Act: Mark Woodyard

Time: 7:30 PM
Headliner: Dirtwire
Dirtwire stands poised between ancient Mother Earth and modern technology, a blend of ethnomusicology and the psychedelic trance state, gut-bucket delta blues and what the band variously dubs “back-porch space cowboy blues, swamptronica, and electro-twang.” It’s a sound informed by Dirtwire’s travels and performances around the globe, where East meets West and North joins South. The band spreads its message by building bridges across musical cultures in its own unique way. Dirtwire plays an array of instruments both ancient and modern, including West African kamale ngonis, jaw harps, space fiddles, whamola basses, Rickenbacher electric 12-string guitars, bowed banjos and mouth harps from around the globe, all interwoven into modern laptop beat creation. Ranging from down-home boot-stomping get-downs, to bass and blues electronic mashups, to ethereal cinematic beat-driven soundscapes, woven into each show is the exploration of where live instruments meet computer production, and where tradition meets experimentation.
