THE DISTRIBUTORS’ roots were set at The Blues Underground in Nanaimo during the 2009 Sidewalk All-Stars program. Ultimately, Brett, Kaylie and Austin meshed into a blues/rock trio with a tight vintage sound, drawing from southern blues and classic rock. It is all about the music, they are in it for life and it is good! The dedication to their craft is unmistakable on the tracks “Good Time”, “I’m Goin’ Back” “Gimme Some” and “It’s Your Life” from the band’s debut album In Color.

One of the hardest working bands in B.C., THE DISTRIBUTORS were voted into the Top Ten in Youthink Magazine’s BC Best Teen Band contest (2013). The band was invited to play at Duncan’s Moonfest (2012), which required at least 70% original songs. Ever up to the challenge, they channeled their creativity writing 6 original songs in less than two weeks. With an overwhelming desire to make music that makes us dance, they are guaranteed to wow the audience with their toe tapping tunes and groovy beats. You won’t be disappointed.
