Scatterheart - Scatterheart is starting a revolution! Armed to the teeth
with Love, Feathers and Great Songwriting they are fighting to
make Rock n Roll fun again. "There's no reason you can't leave a rock show
feeling happy!", says Scatterheart lead singer Jesse Enright. "I spent my teen years in the DJ scene and I was amazed by the amount of energy a room full of
people can create. With Scatterheart I wanted to create the same experience and energy, but with a live rock show!" And that energy is building. The band is already stirring up audiences and press alike with music dubbed "Metric meets Queen" Scatterheart brings it's brand of high-energy, good feeling rock and roll to help ring in the New Year in Whistler. |

Joe Roncetti - Originally from Toronto, Joe Roncetti signed a publishing deal in the states with Warner Chappell and moved to Los Angeles. Joe began a journey that took him all over North America. Touring extensively with his rock bands Last Picture Show, Benjamin as well as acoustically taught this lad a thing or two about how to hold an audience. Many took notice and it lead to incredible collaborations with people like Glen Ballard, Robbie Nevil, Bernard Fowler (Rolling Stones) and Don Smith(Tom Petty) to name a few. This only fueled Joe's desire to continue writing great songs and keep performing. Eventually people noticed and it ended up keeping Joe on the road for most of 2008/09. First Night Whistler is pleased that Joe chose Whistler as the place to kick off 2010! |
