Columbia, Canada
Canadian Whitewater is a very energetic and tight group, well-rehearsed with great stage presence. They play traditional bluegrass, with all musicians using a common microphone. They played two sets. A standing ovation lifted the roof and brought them back on stage for an encore. CDs were available, with a donation from each sale going to the museum fund.
