Dirt Road Opera

Dirt Road Opera’s music speaks for itself in a band with three JUNO nominees, two lead singers, a multi-instrumentalist, and a musical wizard reminiscent of The Band’s Garth Hudson.

Their songs encompass a variety of genres ranging from ballads like Hard to Find to the hillbilly rock of Nowheresville.

“I don’t try to write in any specific style,” says singer/songwriter Barry Mathers. “The songs let themselves in, hang around for a while, and then back out the door where the band takes over.”​

Rachel Matkin is a gifted vocalist, singing professionally since the age of seven. Her stunning vocals have won numerous awards and praise from both critics and peers alike.

Jim Ryan is a musician’s musician. Classically trained on the piano and a master of the bass guitar, his unbridled passion for playing music is evident whenever he takes the stage.

Multi-instrumentalist Robert Bailey brings his many talents to the band. Pedal steel, guitar, keyboards, bass, and banjo are all part of his musical arsenal.

Three-part harmonies, great songwriting, and stellar musicianship are the essence of this roots/Americana band hailing from Kelowna, BC.
