Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee recorded their 1965 album At the Bunkhouse. Having moved to Vancouver, English singer David Wiffen was invited to perform at the Bunkhouse on a live ensemble album, also in 1965. This became the musician's first solo album, At the Bunkhouse Coffeehouse, when the other invited musicians failed to show up. Gerry Berg of Yeoman said, "We were the first group to play for Les Stork at the Bunkhouse in Vancouver. Blake Emmons got his start there and played the second week after us."
