Mountain climber, wildlife wrangler and cowboy, the Canadian national park warden is a masterful wilderness ranger. Blending haunting three-part harmo-nies, The Wardens - Scott Ward, Bradley Bischoff and Ray Schmidt - are a Banff National Park-based acoustic trio drawing on 60+ years of fiercely protecting Canada's most prized landscapes. Like crystal clear creeks, the hint of spruce in the breeze and the warmth of a crackling campfire, The Wardens' original songs and stories are an essential part of Canada.

Get dangerously close to grizzly bears, fight devastating forest fires, rescue stranded mountaineers and reflect on the solitude of lonely horseback patrols as The Wardens blend folk, roots and western music with rich storytelling into their Rocky Mountain sound. Along with riveting tales, high defnition projected images on a large screen cre-ate a fully immersive experience. Hang on as The Wardens hoist audiences into the saddle and take them on a mythical journey from the rugged mountaintop to the forested valleys among Canada's most pristine landscapes.

“The quintessential mountain-culture concert experience.”

Jamie BlissKootenay Mountain Culture Magazine

“They were often funny, sometimes poignant, and frequently celebra-tory...wholesome narrative songs expertly performed on guitars and upright bass, and homespun stories humbly told, bringing the lives of park wardens in the wilderness of Canada’s mountain national parks into vivid perspective.”
