If you like roots music, you'll find Gary delivers a perfect mixture of blues, classic R&B, and jazz standards for just about any occasion.

The Gary Preston Band specializes in blues, but throws in some lovely surprises and can cover a wide range of styles. The band plays regularly around Victoria and the Islands, and features Colin Campbell on guitar and trumpet, Ron Lukawitski on bass, and Anita Bonkowski on drums. Alternate and additional band members include David Schade and Lonny Koch on guitar, Rick Erickson on bass and Wendell Clanton on sax.

The Kingmixers are a versatile dance band, covering a wide range of material from the swing era on up.

Preston & Bonkowski are a swingin' little duo with Gary on piano, vocals and harmonica and Anita on upright bass and percussion.
