The Paddlewheelers Trio was formed 5 years ago by Doug Porteous, Maurice Postnikoff, and Wayne Salloum. Named after the paddleboats that plied the Saskatchewan Rivers, the Paddlewheeler Trio specializes in heritage music, as well as popular music from the 1930′s, right up to the 1970′s. The Trio travels and has played for many functions including fund raisers, centennial celebrations, highschool reunions and others. Trio members enjoy performing and view their role as ’breaking bread’ with an audience.
All three members play Martin acoustic guitars, and have determined to use a simple, down-to-earth approach without the use of any other instrumentation. The Paddlewheelers have expressed appreciation of performing for the Heritage Festival, and are available for various functions by calling Maurice at (306) 242-1968.
