Rory AllAn

Rory Allen is a world-class entertainer and Elvis Presley tribute artist.  His incredible show has been extremely well-received by even the most faithful Elvis fans and friends.

Rory has performed internationally on stage, radio and television. He is equally at home performing at private and corporate events or to crowds at casinos, theatres and stadiums.  Rory has performed with the Regina Symphony Orchestra, as well as two concerts with Elvis Presley’s Imperials quartet.

Rory has also been privileged to sing and record on several occasions with Grammy Award-winning quartet, the legendary Jordanaires, from Nashville, Tennessee. Rory’s most recent performances with the Jordanaires were two evenings of inspirational and gospel music that not only raised much-needed money and awareness for the Regina and District Food Bank, but the resulting live concert CD In My Father’s House was nominated for a Western Canadian Music Award for Outstanding Christian Recording.

Born and raised in Saskatchewan, Canada, Rory has always enjoyed entertaining people and from an early age he thrived on stage.  Gospel music and singing in church played a huge part in developing his rich, clear and powerful singing voice. Recognized for their numerous charitable and fundraising activities, Rory and his wife, Lorie, were awarded Saskatchewan Centennial Medals.

Rory has released his 7th CD, If She Only Knew, to rave reviews. This collection of original songs has been eagerly received by Rory’s extensive loyal fan base, as well as legions of new fans and friends.

Rory Allen is in demand for private and corporate functions throughout the year and is a proven draw and crowd favorite as a regular casino headline entertainer, playing to packed houses and standing ovations.

Rory fills his full-length shows with solid gold Elvis hits, drawing from his vast repertoire of over 180 rock and roll classics, ballads and heartfelt gospel songs. His authentic vocals and stunning costumes combined with his Elvis good-looks, energy and audience rapport all add up to a great entertainment package.

Bring back those good-time memories from the 50's, 60's, and 70's.

Don’t miss Rory Allen’s unforgettable Tribute to the King!

The Family That Plays Together

Takes Home SCMA Country Gospel Album of the Year

This past Sunday at Casino Regina, the excited family of six; jumped and let out screams of amazement when their name was called as the winner for 2009 Country Gospel Album of the Year. As well as their win, the family was nominated for 5 other awards this year including; Manager of year, Song of the year “My Lord”, Group of the year, Fiddler and Album of the year.

After being notified of their nomination, special permission from the casino in Regina had to be granted for the family to all attend because of the children all being underage. The exemption was granted and the Trudel Family and grandparents all enjoyed a fantastic show. The theatre was stunning and the production of the show was of high quality with special quest Victoria Banks emceeing the show.

The family resides on a farm in Honeymoon Saskatchewan and all 6 family members take part being on stage. Parents Colin and Janice both grew up with a love for music. Colin started playing lead guitar in his early teens alongside his Dad and uncles in a country band and Janice’s love for music was reinforced over the many miles of Saskatchewan highways in the family station wagon and her first instrument the organ.

As a newly married couple, Janice and Colin played together for 5 years in a band until they started their family. There were times when they wondered if they’d ever play on stage again but when their oldest daughter was 3, she sang at a production in their church in Albertville . When her Dad bungled the guitar for the song, Janaya didn’t blink and even improvised the ending of the song.  At age 5 Janaya was spotted at the Paddockwood West show by an organizer of the Prince Albert Country North Show, where she sang at 9 shows in 6 nights, impressing the audience with her stage presence and vocals. Janaya, who is now 14, picked up the violin at age 6 and since then has added mandolin and guitar to her repertoire.

The Trudel’s second born Jolissa, 11 years old, learned to sing harmony with her sister in the backseat of the van. She has a strong faith, a heart of gold and is instrumental behind-the-scenes.

If they can stay out off boy-hood mischief long enough, you’ll be pleased to see the last two members of this family. Graeme 8 and Declan 7 years are typical young farm boys who love to drive anything especially their home-made go-cart. Typically, they perform one or two songs along with the rest of the family. Graeme is learning to play guitar and the boys both sing.

It was after a retreat 2 years ago when they refocused their music away from entertainment to being ministry. “God gave us our talents….. playing music is our gift back to Him.”

The Trudel’s recently finished their first full length CD, “Believe”. The first song on the CD was written by Janaya when she was 13 and is a beautiful song that also was nominated for song of the year. Mom, Janice wrote four more of the songs on the disk with the remaining 4 tracks being crowd favorites. The CD has the family’s usual bluegrass feel as well as some pop and country songs. The entire CD recording process took almost 3 years to complete and the family is anxious to share it.

Parents Janice and Colin cherish every moment playing with their favorite band ever.  "We're having the time of our lives being on stage with our children; it doesn't get any better than this!"

 

Ken Overcast

Ken Overcast is the real deal. In this day and age of plastic throw away everything, to find someone that is really genuine is a treat indeed. While many in the performing arts tend towards honing an act that is saleable, Ken strives very diligently to just be himself. His music, writing, and public performances are characterized by a down home connection that is indeed rare. He is a third generation Montanan, and is truly making a mark on America’s entertainment. Both Ken’s recording and writing have been very prolific. Having written about half of the music he's recorded, there are currently eight CD's in his Bear Valley Records catalogue. Visions of several more recordings are in various stages of planning, with available time being the only constraint. His CD Montana Cowboy was named Cowboy CD of the Year by True West Magazine, and contains the song Montana Lullaby, co-written with Wylie Gustafson, which was selected as The Official Lullaby of the State of Montana in an act by the Montana Legislature. The most recent recording project, entitled Montana In My Soul, expounds upon Ken's love for the West and his home in particular.

The amundruds

Blending great Gospel music with Christian family values, the Amundruds continue to share the love of Jesus wherever they go. Amid our daily struggles and trials, it is reassuring to be reminded of the hope we have in Jesus.
The group is made up of siblings Gary, Daryl, Lorilyn, and Sheri, joined by their parents, Glen and Linda. Also joining the Amundruds is the talented, Amy Olson. They all share a common desire to touch lives and reach the lost. Their unique ability to communicate through song has made them a favourite in Gospel music today with their appearances at Trinity Music City USA, Nashville's Gibson Cafe and Canada's Gospel Music Celebration.
Glen and Linda accepted the Lord shortly after they were married. Their faith has been challenged from time to time. They were unable to have children, but they fasted and prayed. God answered prayer after eight years of longing, trusting and waiting for a miracle. They were blessed with two sons, Gary and Daryl, and two daughters, Lorilyn & Sheri. They all love the Lord and serve Him.


The Amundruds' goal is to be a light and a blessing to those they meet. This family group from Lloydminster, Saskatchewan ministers to audiences through their thought-provoking lyrics, innovative musical arrangements and life-changing testimonies giving all the glory to God.
