CMW Music Week Festival Artists Talent Guide
C.A.A.M.A. (Canadian Association
for the Advancement of Music and the Arts) performs
many functions for many people. In addition
to its usefulness as a marketing vehicle for
artists to press, international buyers, labels,
and radio, it has always been a market for business
people shopping for new talent. In hopes of
facilitating this process, we present the C.A.A.M.A.
Talent Guide. We asked all the showcasing acts
at CMW to fill out a questionnaire and tell
us the top 3 things that they were looking for
to advance their careers.

Zubot & Dawson
When asked "what kind of music do you play?",
these guys from the west coast of Canada smile
and answer "Strang."
The musical influences and evocations in Strang
could fill a record catalogue, but the short answer
would be "acoustic music that kicks ass."
Those that have been listening to roots music
over the last 25 years or so might find some musical
sign posts pointing towards the work of Bela Fleck,
Tony Rice, Ry Cooder, Darol Anger and David "Dawg"
Grisman.
