Athletes are not the only people going to the winter Olympics.

A couple of local musicians—steel guitarist Ed Ringwald, otherwise known as Pee Wee Charles, and fiddle player Shane Guse—are going to Vancouver as part of Canadian country artist George Canyon’s band.

The two musicians, who left Friday, perform with Canyon on Saturday at Molson Canadian Hockey House.

Ringwald, who toured and recorded for many years with Gordon Lightfoot, is an old hand at Olympic performances.

He backed up Lightfoot at the Olympic Village in Montreal in 1976.

Ringwald has been busy in recent months, recording an album with Shane Yellowbird and forming a new western swing band, The Western Swing Authority, featuring Stacey Lee, Paul Chapman, Dan Howlett, Matt Lima, Charlie St. Denis and Guse.
