“I’m doing the best that I can by playing and giving young girls something to watch, Ridgewell said. Especially at a time like this when there’s not a lot going on, so it’s a great chance to promote the women’s game.”

“If football and theatre seems like an odd combo, Johnson isn’t about to disagree. “I’m the only athlete at the university who’s in theatre,” he is quick to point out. “I’ve always enjoyed acting and I’d like to enjoy acting in theatre, film and television. The theatre program at York is highly renowned. I could take the path to film and television with acting.” Saskatoon StarPhoenix

Nashville based songwriter Ryan Sorestad (Alumni 1997) has seen his music take him from Saskatchewan all the way to Music City – Nashville, TN. Upon moving to the USA, Sorestad started writing and touring with up-and-coming country star, Jenny Leigh (CW Network’s “The Next”). He has shared the stage with numerous country superstars such as Big and Rich, Randy Houser, Joe Nichols, Jana Kramer, Dierks Bentley, and more. Sorestad’s songs have made their way to both artists and Nashville based publishing companies. Recently he was named to the “Ones to Watch” list at Nashville Songwriters Association International that recognizes new hit country songwriters.

Sorestad grew up in the small farming community of Buchanan, Saskatchewan. He attributes his musical upbringing to his family and to having access to a piano and the Lutheran Book of Worship (“the green one”). From a young age, Sorestad’s parents gave him a diverse musical upbringing by having vinyl from various styles: classical, crooners, country, and everything in between. Sorestad attended LCBI starting in Grade 10, sang in the LCBI Concert Choir, and found a staff and student body who were more talented than he’d ever seen. For three years, he surrounded himself with friends who could sing, play every instrument, and encouraged him to grow both musically and spiritually.

It was in 1999 that Sorestad made his first move to the USA to tour with Youth Encounter in a band called “Captive Free.” During that year, Sorestad not only realized that music was going to take him places he’d only dream of, but he met his future wife (Kate (Carroll) Sorestad). After working as Dean of Men for LCBI (2000/01), he auditioned at the University of Saskatchewan and a short 5 years later graduated with two degrees (B. Mus and B. Ed). Sorestad quickly found a position with the Saskatoon Public Schools where he worked at Mount Royal Collegiate.

After a tough conversation inspired by a friend’s death, Ryan and Kate decided to pursue their dreams south of the border. Sorestad resigned his position with SPS and hasn’t looked back. His songs have already been recorded, and can be heard on Country Music Radio in the USA. He continues to write, play, and tour knowing that while the road he’s on will take him to new places with new stories, and new songs, that same road can always take him “home.”

Calgarian Jason Hastie (Alumni 1992) might arguably be one of the brightest country music stars on the Canadian music scene. Not only does Hastie have a history with country music that dates back more than a decade, he is also an entrepreneur, an author, and a certified accounting professional.

Jason Hastie grew up in Birsay, Saskatchewan; it was here in his hometown that Hastie had instilled his deep love of country music. Hastie says that Birsay was the stereotypical small farming town with community dances at which a band would perform. He admits seeing the group earn the admiration of those in the crowd, combined with the fact the band had their own bus (albeit a school bus they had painted black), helped him understand the power that music can have upon people.

Hastie started playing piano at four years of age. When Hastie was in junior high school, he picked up the trumpet while continuing to dabble in piano; in high school, Hastie sang with the LCBI choir. After graduating high school, Hastie toured the United States for one year with a band before moving on to university life, picking up the guitar while also earning his accounting designation. “Accounting was going to be my safety net, so to speak,” he says. “My parents are farmers and wanted me to go to university to have something to fall back on.”

In 2002, with the encouragement of friends who made a similar pilgrimage from Saskatchewan, Hastie found himself living in Calgary and working for a prestigious accounting firm. A short time later, Hastie started his own consulting firm and ultimately found himself with a significant amount of flexible time.

Hastie would release two solo singles to radio in 2005, forming the duo Six West a short time later. Six West went on to achieve respectable success in Canada, landing their song “I Will Wait” in the Top 40 in Canada. The video made it into regular rotation on Canada’s Country Music Television Channel.

With a six-song EP due for release in Canada on April 30th, 2013, things are really starting to ramp up for Hastie. His EP was recorded with acclaimed country producers David Kalmusky and Danick Dupelle (Emerson Drive) in Nashville, Tennesse, Tom McKillip in Vancouver, and Bart McKay in Saskatoon. CCMA-nominated Video Director Troy Niemans filmed the video for the first single from the EP, Til She Don’t, in both New York City and Alberta.

The second single to be released from Hastie’s EP, “Fallen Too Far” was written by Brad Mates and Danick Dupelle (Emerson Drive) and Tebey while “We Got It Going On” was penned by Charles Kelley from multi-platinum country act Lady Antebellum.

Jason shared his musical gift with the LCBI community at the LCBI Alumni Gala held in September of 2012. Visit Jason at his website http://jasonhastiemusic.com/ to learn where his next performances will be and to listen to his amazing music.
