Rock n Roll Cover Group. Collectively, Rollin’ Coal has been entertaining audiences for decades. Art Jacob is a very accomplished electric and upright bass player. He spent his early years on Canada’s east coast fine tuning his skills and is widely renowned as one of the very best in the Okanagan. Colin Moorman has toured Western B.C. over the years, delighting crowds with his guitar and saxophone play. When Colin isn’t onstage performing, he is busy teaching guitar, bass and saxophone in the Kelowna area. Susan Ruuska’s voice was discovered by a local Kelowna resident who just happened to have a band, and encouraged her to pursue singing. Susan did just that, and was dubbed “a unicorn” by her vocal master class instructor, due to her unusual alto/mezzo range.
This trio presents a retro vibe, and wants to share their love of classic songs from the 50’s and onward. They will delight you with songs choices that will bring back memories and surprise you with new versions of old favourites that will have you applauding and asking for more!
