JIM PEACE AND DUTCH CREEK

Jim Peace is a multi-instrumentalist, singer, songwriter and has been playing music, recording and touring across Canada with various groups for over 25 years. Recently, Jim has headlined at festivals and concerts across Western Canada from Winnipeg Manitoba to Kamloops BC., including 7 years at the Calgary Stampede.

This year Jim came out with his first solo CD, Circle Rider.
… I’ve wanted to put out a CD with some of my original songs. I’ve always liked song writers who write story songs. This CD is a collection of original stories about real people. Well this CD Circle Rider,  like the title says really represents going full circle in my life’s musical journey from Folk and Traditional music to Country and back to my true love, Western Music….

Besides playing music, which promotes our western heritage, Jim’s other passion is riding horses in the mountains.

The Dutch Creek Drifters consist of Jim Peace, Graham Allen and Mike Dygert.

Graham’s bass provides the heartbeat of the Dutch Creek Drifters sound. His early years were spent on farms and ranches helping herd and brand cattle. He also worked horses in preparation for the rodeo season. In the evening, his family listened to old time and western music. In these past few years, playing western music has brought Graham back to his western roots. Graham and Jim played together for years in groups such as Latigo and Double Diamond.

Mike Dygert also hales from Alberta ranch stock; his father grew up on ranches in southern Alberta. He too has a thirst for the stories of the old west, a dry wit that will have you wondering "where'd he come from?" and "How the heck did he get there?". As guitar and bass player Mike has toured across North America as part of The Gordy West Band..
