Saskia and Darrel!

What do you get when you cross a Roots/Americana, singer from a Dutch background with a Saskatchewan, blues-rock guitar playing Métis...................sparks probably!!

They deliver a hot blend of music, an unpredictable series of songs, that change every night. Saskia and Darrel are completely self-managed. They are a well oiled writing and performing machine. They perform throughout all of Canada and Western Europe and are not afraid to tackle a new market. Under the shelter of their newly formed company "Roots on Route" they are cultivating an immense following across Canada & Europe, winning over their fans one town; one hall at a time.
