The Cropdusters

Lead Vocals, Rhythm Guitar Dallas Wolbaum was a household name in this country from 1945-1976, while competing for Canada in the summer games in Helsinki 1952, and again in Montreal in 1976. After pioneering such high-jump techniques as the “Flosbury Flop” in 1968, Wolbaum decided to take a step back, stating that the “decathalon scene had become far too political, and more of a popularity contest than anything else”. Wolbaum next concentrated his Jedi like powers on his other passion, music. Fronting the act “Bedside Manners” out of Lethbridge in the early 90’s and then performing as a 1 man act throughout Alberta and BC for the last 15 years, Wolbaum is a man with a gifted voice, razor-sharp sense of humor, and a talent for taking the party to the next level.

Lead Guitar Having fought in all 3 World wars, there is not much James has not seen or done. Most often recognized for his leadership role in Battle of Jutland in 1916, you would be hard pressed to get the story from him today. Easily touted as one of BC’s best guitarists, Picton’s style is constantly changing from rhythm, to funk, to metal, to blues, to emulating different instruments such as mandolin, violin, and flutes. A consummate professional and untimate perfectionist James creates layers and dimension within the music, which will have you turning you head in disbelief more than once.

Bass, Background Vocals The lovechild of local 60’s musicians “Moonbeam and Sunkiss”, Ryan has been a musical prodigy his whole life. If he’s not cruizing by the local High school looking to give chicks a ride, you’ll find him living in his van down by the Kootenay River. Ryan’s musical background is as diverse as his sense of style. Having played bass with several of BC’s top bands, continues to evolve as a top performer. Currently working in several projects such as blues, funk, studio work as well as the Cropdusters, Ryan brings his experience to the stage night after night.

Drums, Designated Driver Before becoming the precussional phenom Kim is today, he enjoyed a quiet life, living as a Jawa. Life in Tatooine was a simple one, mostly seeking out technology for sale or trade in the deep deserts driving his huge sandcrawler. After helping locate CP-30 and R2-D2 in 1978, and then selling them to Luke Skywalker’s uncle, the Jawa life began to take its toll. Kim shed his cloak and moved to the Kootenays in the mid 90’s to commence his true passion; hitting things with sticks. Kim has played with the best BC has to offer, and does more than hold his own. Playing professionally for over 25 years Kim touts a massive musical background and pure passion for the songs. He‘s got more fills than a Tim-Hortons drive-through. Great drummer, and all around nice guy.
