The Wardens
Music | Stories | Mountain Culture
Cowboy, mountain climber and wildlife wrangler; the Canadian national park warden
is a masterful Jack-of-all trades.
With performances equal to the mastery of the ranger trade, The Wardens - Scott
Ward, Bradley Bischoff and Ray Schmidt - are a Banff National Park-based trio
whose stories rise from the very land they’ve protected for the past 30 years. Born
in the remote wilderness, their music immediately connects with anyone who has a
love of landscape.
“The Wardens are much more than just a great, entertaining band
(and make no mistake, they are great!) - the breathtaking slides,
fabulous humour and storytelling that accompanies their original
music creates a unique, memorable and authentic Rocky Mountain
experience.”

Saddle up for horseback patrols in remote valleys, get dangerously close to grizzly
bears and pay homage to those who gave their lives to wilderness conservation.
Audiences laugh and cry as they become intertwined with the stories of the places
that belong to them.
Through superb musicianship (lead guitar, rhythm guitar, bass), haunting threepart vocal harmonies, rich on-screen images and a chilling delivery, The Wardens
bring the showcases of our nation to audiences from around the world.
“The Wardens were absolutely fantastic. The running slideshow of
beautiful National Parks added to the history and stories presented
by their music. Professional, funny and extremely talented.”

“Loved, loved, loved your concert at The Club at Banff Centre last
night! Every minute was entertaining: the great songs, harmony,
humor, slide shows, and stories. We enjoyed hearing all about the
life of park wardens. One of the best shows we’ve ever been to at the
Banff Centre.”

This six track EP is their debut
recording. These songs reflect the wild
country they patrol...a real gem. Four
stars out of four.
