    SHAWN SAUNDERS Bass, Harmonica, Vocals, Producer

    Hailing from Fredericton New Brunswick, Shawn Saunders started doing sound for bands and recording with local bands on Community TV while in high school. The thoughts of playing bass kept popping into his head so he purchased that first bass guitar at age 37. Dedicated to learning the bass and being in a band like his uncle, he learned the basics quickly and started using his vocal abilities as well. Shawn eventually joined a band that became FlatBroke and later Flat Broke II. After moving to Alberta in 2006, Shawn played with the Muskeg River Band, Emo Leblanc, Paul LePage, and joined forces with Bonni MacDonald to create the current version of FlatBroke. Shawn's influences include The Eagles, Fleetwood Mac, RUSH, Captain Morgan, Stephen Little, and Brad Paisley.

    Please refer to Shawn Saunders for all technical questions. 780-267-2608 or [email protected]

    Ideal stage size is 10’ x 16’

    Since we are a duo who plays with backing tracks and instruments, FlatBroke travels with its own sound rig mixing system for FOH and monitors. We can provide left and right audio signals to the venue’s sound system if necessary. For smaller venues, FlatBroke provides basic stage lighting, and an array of various cables and power cords. We can provide pre-recorded background music during breaks.

  • If the venue is providing sound reinforcement, the band can also provide individual instrument outputs from our sound rig instead of the final mix. We prefer to use our Bose system for stage sound (monitor) and will mix our stage sound ourselves through our rig. All sound outputs will be line level 1/4'” unbalanced outputs. We recommend using DI’s from each output for long runs to the venue’s mixer (typically 8 DI’s will be required). Outputs are as follows:

    Equipment list (backline)

    1 Bose tower

    1 Fender bass amp with DI output on XLR

    1 Samson wireless for Bass Amp with DI

    1 Sure SM58 wired microphones XLR

    To whom it may concern,

    Re: FlatBroke Reference

    The Millarville Rodeo Committee contracted FlatBroke to entertain at the 18th Annual Rodeo which took

    place August 1 – 3, 2014.

    Our committee, as well as our rodeo spectators were very pleased with the calibre of entertainment

    that FlatBroke was able to provide for our event. The musical entertainment was exceptional, and was a

    great fit for those that attended our event. Their set up, lights & sound equipment was wonderful.

    All members of the band were very accommodating, and interacted professionally with those who were

    participating it the weekend’s rodeo activities. Additionally, upon request Bonni sang our national

    anthem for two of our rodeo performances during our grand entry rides.

    If you are considering hiring FlatBroke for any of your upcoming events, they would come highly

    recommended from the Millarville Rodeo Committee. And we look forward to working with their crew

    again for future events.

    Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

    Local artist gives back through song By Claire Theobald, Edmonton Examiner

    Thursday, March 14, 2013 2:45:32 MDT PM

    Local vocalist Bonni MacDonald is using her musical gifts to give back to the church and community that welcomed her in by donating the proceeds from her first solo album The Gift.

    “It was a dream of mine. I never thought it would happen,” said MacDonald. “To be able to do it for such a great cause is very heartwarming.”

    Bonni MacDonald, who said she has been singing since childhood, has performed in venues in and around the Edmonton area for years. After moving to Duffield, she says the Mewassin Free Methodist Church went above and beyond to welcome her into their community.

    “If you’re a stranger, you set foot in that door of the church and there’s always someone there to welcome you,” said MacDonald.

    “You really feel part of it right from the very first time.”

    Still housed in the original structure built in 1936, the parish is quickly outgrowing its 50-seat capacity, and hopes to construct a new 4,000-sq.-ft. church and youth centre on the same property so it can continue to welcome new members.

    “It’s something that a lot of people have put a lot of hard work into and I really want to see it happen,” said MacDonald.

    The Gift was created as a way to raise funds for the church, with MacDonald and nine other musicians all donating their time and talent to put together the album.

    Inspired by old country legends like Johnny Cash and Marty Robbins, this gospel album incorporates some of MacDonald’s country flair.

    All profits from the sale of the first 500 CDs will be donated directly to the church’s building fund.

    “This is my gift to the church,” said MacDonald, “my way of contributing and my way of giving back for all of the kindness and everything that everyone there has shown me.”

    Now in the final stages of development, The Gift will be first available at their release party on Friday, May 31, at Duffield Hall on First Street in Duffield, Alberta.

    The event will feature a dinner, dance, live performance and silent auction, with all of those proceeds going straight to the church development fund.

    “Being able to do this is a very rewarding feeling,” MacDonald said, “and I’m very, very happy to do it.”

    Tickets are available for pre-sale by phoning MacDonald at 780-666-5407.

    FlatBroke makes sure Legion won’t go broke and celebrates CD release By Thomas Miller, Spruce Grove Examiner/Stony Plain Reporter

    Friday, October 4, 2013 3:28:08 MDT PM

    Parkland County-based band FlatBroke will perform at the Strathcona Legion on Oct. 12. - Photo Supplied

    Local band FlatBroke is heading into Edmonton for a show on Oct. 12 in order to help out the Strathcona Legion.

    The Parkland County-based group performed at that legion when it was going through some rough times in order to bring in some business and help the legion stay alive so it can, in turn, help the veterans in the area.

    FlatBroke performs mostly classic favourites like Mustang Sally, Margaritaville and These Boots are Made for Walking, which makes their setlist perfect for the demographic at the legion.

    So after their successful show a few months ago, they’re heading back to that very legion to celebrate and hold a CD release party in conjunction with the legion’s Oktoberfest celebration.

    “They were in dire straits and potentially closing,” said Bonni MacDonald, lead singer, about why they got involved with the Strathcona Legion. “We weren’t sure if they were going to be able to pull things out. So we came up with an event for them.

    “It was wonderful, it allowed them to keep their doors open.

    “We’ve always liked what the legion stands for and the legion seems to be a clientele that we like to play to, who enjoy our music.”

    Shawn Saunders, the band’s bass player added that the importance of the legion cannot be understated because of what they do for our veterans.

    “As far as we know, just about every legion across the country (is in trouble). I can say that the one in Oromocto, New Brunswick is going in fine style, because the last time I was there the place was packed,” said Saunders with a laugh as he comes from New Brunswick himself.

    “When you think of veterans you think of the old guys in World War II, but veterans are the guys over there right now. What they’ve done in the past is what allows us to do what we do — whatever we want. When we see that legions all over Canada are having a hard time staying open because the older veterans are dying off and their memberships are down.”

    That includes Stony Plain, they added, and they will be holding an event at the Stony Plain Legion in December in order to support the local legion, as well, so keep an eye out for that, they said.

    For more information on FlatBroke’s concert at the Strathcona Legion in Edmonton, give the legion a call at 780-433-1908.

    For $20, you get the German supper, a drink and a ticket to the dance featuring FlatBroke. Tickets at the door will be $25. The show starts at 6 p.m. on Oct. 12.

    Lack of support could mean another closure of Royal Canadian Legion branch: presidentDave Lazzarino

    Wednesday, May 22, 2013, 4:41 PM

    Royal Canadian Legion logo

    article

    Another Royal Canadian Legion is facing possible closure if it can’t find a way to attract support — but some are refusing to go without a fight.

    “The veterans are the ones that started this all off and that’s what we’re there for, to serve the veterans,” said Bob Power, president of the Royal Canadian Legion Strathcona Branch 595.

    Power comes from a military family — his grandfather served in the First World War and both his parents served in the Second World War — but he is a member of that group of legion supporters who hasn’t worn a uniform.

    He said he owes it to people like his parents to try and keep the legion alive.

  • “If it wasn’t for them, I don’t think our country would be like it is today,” he said. “If we don’t realize what they’ve done for us, there’s no point of living in Edmonton.”

    Unfortunately, there is a present-day financial war to be waged.

    Power said at the beginning of 2012, the Strathcona branch had a reserve fund of $250,000 in GICs, savings from when they owned a large piece of land on 81 Avenue near 104 Street. But he said someone signed a lease for the building they are now in at 91 Street and 51 Avenue that is costing $15,000 a month in rent. They now have $50,000 left.

    “They left me with a mess,” Power said, adding the support has waned along with the funds. They have 347 members, down from almost 900 two years ago.

    A recent executive meeting voted not to leave, despite the very real threat of losing their charter if they declare bankruptcy.

    The Strathcona branch is not the first to experience this kind of financial stress. Decreasing numbers across the country have led to many branches disbanding and others having to move to smaller buildings.

    “The problem you’ve got is the legion itself doesn’t seem to attract many of the recent soldiers,” said Ret. Maj. David Haas. “This is why the legions are in trouble. But of course, you don’t have the huge wave of ex-servicemen.”

    Haas has been a legion member in past but now connects with the country’s military past by volunteering at the Loyal Edmonton Regiment Museum. He said it is important for veterans to have a place to find camaraderie after their service has ended.

    “The wartime experience particularly put a lot of stress on people and later they needed to talk with guys who could understand that,” said Haas.

    Power still has hope that the legion will survive but said it depends on finding more support from Edmontonians. To attract that support, the legion is holding a steak and lobster dinner and dance May 25. Tickets are $30 and include food and a live band.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

    ROYAL CANADIAN LEGIONS BECOMING EXTINCT

    EDMONTON, AB, May 22, 2013-Edmonton’s second oldest legion; The Strathcona legion will be holding a steak and lobster dinner and dance on May 25, 2013 in hopes to rejuvenate interest in the legion and to stop the proposed closure of the branch at the end of May.

    Along with Norwood and Leduc branches, the Strathcona legion is experiencing diminishing membership and low public support along with high operation costs making it impossible to continue to operate.

    In 1944 a metal Quonset hut served as the temporary Strathcona Legion for several years until construction of the more permanent location was completed in 1952 at 81 avenue west of 104 street.

    In 2003, forced to relocate from its historical building by low membership and rising operation costs, the Strathcona Legion secured a new location on the northeast corner of 91 Street and 51 Avenue.

    The Royal Canadian Legion is an organization that serves veterans and promotes remembrance across Canada and the world. The Legion is open for membership to all Canadian citizens and members of the Commonwealth. The legion is open to all members and their guests, as well as members of the general public who wish to visit.

    The Strathcona legion hopes the upcoming dinner and dance featuring popular local band FlatBroke will generate renewed interest in legions and their importance to all Canadians.

    Strathcona Legion Avoids Closure and Plans Celebration

    EDMONTON, AB, Sept 25, 2013-Edmonton’s second oldest legion; The Royal Canadian Strathcona legion will be holding an Oktoberfest Celebration and CD release party for local band FlatBroke on Oct 12, 2013 to celebrate the legion’s continued operation after fear of closure five months earlier.

    Due to recent diminishing membership and low public support, along with high operationcosts, the Stratcona Legion was prepared to close operation in May 2013.

    After a heartfelt plea to the public which resulted in a sold out successful event in May, the Strathcona legion has made the necessary business adjustments that are allowing the branch to remain open.

    The Strathcona legion hopes the upcoming dinner and dance and CD release celebrationwill generate renewed interest in legions and their importance to all Canadians allowing the branch to remain open for many years to come.

    The Royal Canadian Legion is an organization that serves veterans and promotes remembrance across Canada and the world. The Legion is open for membership to all Canadian citizens and members of the Commonwealth. The legion is open to all members and their guests, as well as members of the general public who wish to visit.
