It’s where she gave her life to Jesus, and where she first began to play music and still calls the Canadian Prairies her home. Aven has experienced many challenges, joys and sorrows, and through it all, God has proven faithful. He heals, restores, provides, protects and guides her life with His infinite love and grace!
Out of her daily walk with God, songs naturally flow, and Aven has recorded many of these on over a dozen projects, with many more waiting to be heard. With a grateful heart, Aven looks forward to whatever God has in store… to sing, write, speak or anything else that He calls her to do, in His strength and for His glory. Thank you, Lord Jesus!

Kevin Quist Band - Alberta
|
Since the days of the 90’s when the Kevin Quist family band was together a lot of things have changed. The girls are all raising families and involved in music ministries of their own. Kevin and Barbara live in the Teepee Creek community where they raise cattle and host a fellowship of Christian cowboys ministry. They still get together with family and friends to play music whenever they can. So maybe things haven’t changed all that much. Still loving God, family, friends, music, and sometimes cows. (If you have ever had cows you will understand. )

Edith and Melanie - Alberta
Edith Fehr and Melanie Salte, previously known as the Fehrs, are a mother daughter duo from the Edmonton area.
Edith grew up in La Crete Alberta and has strong roots in country and Southern Gospel music. Singing in church and local talent shows was a regular occurrence in her growing up years. She had the privilege of recording a project professionally with her brother David in 1989.They sang as a duo for a few years, thanks to the push and incredible support of her husband George.
Opportunity came with winning a southern gospel talent contest, which opened doors for solo ministry and God's incredible blessing of three more recording projects, one of which was a duo with Melanie.
Life changed for the Fehr family with a cancer diagnosis for George in 2012, which would be a seven year battle with the disease. Sadly he lost his battle in July 2019.
Edith experienced a bout of cancer in 2018, and after two surgeries there was doubt that she would ever sing again, but God had other plans.
Both Melanie and Edith are worship leaders in their respective churches, and active in ministry.
On a personal note, Melanie and I are thrilled to be a part of this festival, one that we have attended as a family for many years! We are still adapting to the incredible loss of a husband and father. He was such a central part of our music ministry and our biggest fan! We miss him dearly, but by the strength and grace of God we will move forward proclaiming the gospel.
Thank you.
