Canada's Double Portion - SaskatchewanCanada’s Double Portion from North Battleford, Saskatchewan is a unique group in many ways. This 5 piece Gospel band is made up of parents Duncan & Debbie Hemmerling and 7 of their 10 children. Juggling homework and musical instruments is a daily routine for the youngest Hemmerling children. They trade in riding the school bus for riding across the country in Canada’s Double Portion tour bus for almost half the year.
2019 marks the 37th year of ministry for this veteran group. Originating with Duncan and his three sisters, Canada’s Double Portion has crisscrossed the continent from Newfoundland to British Columbia, Georgia to Alaska. Three decades of travel have provided unique experiences like singing on the Grand Ole’ Opry stage, backing up Johnny & June Cash at a Cash/Rivers family reunion and performing with many of Gospel music’s premier groups at North America’s largest events. However, experience has taught this family that the smaller things in life are often the most rewarding! |

Crimson River - AlbertaLike branches on a tree, we all grow in different directions, and yet our roots remain as one.
We are family…a circle of strength, founded in faith, joined in love- kept by God. Over the past nine years God’s plan for Crimson River has unfolded. Like the building of a puzzle, seven people came together to form a beautiful picture of God’s will. Christ’s love ran red down the cross. He freed us from our sin and we are no longer the same. So, from this is where our bands name came to life. We understand that we are in the presence of God. We walk humbly with God. We want to do the will of God. Every time we step out of our front doors into the world or onto a stage to sing we long for the fragrance of God to be ever before us, around us, and even as we go behind us. At the end of each day we want to be able to say we have done our best to show God’s love to the world. We want to one day hear from God “Well done faithful servant.” Family isn’t always blood…God longs for all His children to seek him, to come home, to be part of His family. Wherever God leads us we will go. We love to share God’s message of love through song. To show those who are searching the way home… |

Kevin & Kim - AlbertaKevin and Kim were both involved in music from a young age. When two songwriters get together and blend their backgrounds of Southern Gospel and Bluegrass music, it's hard to define the resulting sounds. Though it may be hard to put an exact label on their rootsy flavor, you can always count on sweet acoustic melodies with guitar, mandolin and sometimes a taste of banjo! The lyrics focus on building up and encouraging people and the performance is upbeat to put a smile on each face and true joy in every heart!

It is their desire that the gospel of Jesus Christ would be clearly understood through their songs and spoken word, that audiences would be uplifted and encouraged, and that God would be glorified through it!
