This Edmonton based band brings a wealth of experience and talent to the stage. The members of the band, all of whom have been performing for many years, bring a refined and refreshing repertoire to their audience. Whether it is a smoking traditional fiddle tune, straight-up bluegrass, a ballad or just plain fun, Woodbend brings the vitality of bluegrass music to every toe-tapping performance.

Woodbend consists of Les Eberhardt on guitar, Terry Lawson on fiddle, Toby Tellier on bass, Ron Mercer on banjo and dobro, and Marshall Lawrence on mandolin. Together they provide four distinct lead vocal styles as well as beautiful three and four part harmonies. The infusion of energy and enthusiasm that is felt during their concerts has audiences craving more as the last note fades.
