QX104’s Manitoba Made, Manitoba Played
Club Wagon Creek
Club Wagon Creek is a unique blend of folk rock, Americana, and outlaw country, hailing from the heart of Manitoba, Canada. Formed in 2022 by Zak Cudney, a jack-of-all-trades who started as a drummer and transitioned to frontman, and Mitchell Friesen, a guitarist who began in hard rock roots but channelled his knowledge into more outlaw-western styles, the band quickly built a reputation for their dynamic sound and engaging live performances. They have earned a devoted following across Manitoba and on tours throughout Alberta and Saskatchewan.
In 2024, Jason Whitehead, a veteran bass player in the southeastern area, was brought on, bringing an eclectic vibe to the band’s energy.
As of February 2025, band released their latest album, “High Noon”, which is a concept record that tells the story of Clyde, a cowboy who finds himself between the law and love in a rugged lawless world.
Further into the summer of the same year the band welcomed another addition to the group. Experienced songwriter, composer, and guitarist Max Dupas (AKA Hamburger Island) joined the trio, bringing with him a variety of different styles and new tones.
