The Cariboo Express is a 12-piece western band. It’s led by platinum-selling and Juno Award-winning Canadian artist Barney Bentall. The extended cast includes Dustin Bentall, Ridley Bent, Matt Masters, Kirby Barby, Stephanie Cadman, Wendy Bird, Scott Smith, Geoff Hicks and Rob Becker.
The Cariboo Express was created by father and son musicians, Barney and Dustin Bentall, in 2005 to bring together generations of community members united by music. The band was built in the spirit of giving back to the communities that have supported their careers. The show has become a favourite event in western Canada. It engages audiences of all ages while contributing to a worthwhile cause.
This unique fundraising concert builds on an Old West-inspired variety show, and features a regular cast of some of Canada’s finest roots and country musicians. Each musician takes a turn in the spotlight, collaborating and warming the hearts of audiences.
