Ethan & Nathan
Ethan Cole and Nathan Dorozio have been musical collaborators for over 30 years. In and out of various projects, they have always maintained a musical connection. Their eclectic influences range from 80’s and 90's indie rock and brit pop, to 60's and 70's rock, folk, country, R&B and pop. Their current band is Albertosaurus, alongside Dean Young and Nikk Orritt.
As an acoustic duo, Ethan and Nathan mostly play original songs that delve into diverse sonic landscapes with a firmament of vivid, wry and iconoclastic lyrics.
Bittersweet
Bittersweet: blending emotions of happiness with a dusting of sadness through songs of poignancy, longing, sorrow and piercing joy.
Bittersweet, a trio emerging in 2022, brings together retirees Tannis Bentley (vocals, ukulele), Bill Bentley (vocals, ukulele) and Murray Little (vocals, bass, ukulele). Anxious to play again publicly after COVID; Bittersweet began entertaining at local senior’s residences with a well-received combination of old-time folk, blues and jazz standards.
Bittersweet enjoys putting new spins on beloved songs with the occasional original thrown in to keep things interesting. Bittersweet performs tunes that span decades of musical inspiration crossing many different genres. There is something for everyone.
In addition to entertaining at senior residences, Bittersweet has performed at the Rocky Mountain Folk Club and Community Associations in Calgary.
