It's been eerily quiet here, though we've actually played quite a bit of private functions since we last wrote... Matt Kennedy and Meagan's Canada Day yard party on June 30th (thanks, Lucy!); the West Van klezmer birthday party on July 14th (mazel tov Mark!) and David's wedding to Jennifer at
the Fat Moose in Merville this past weekend, just outside of Cumberland on Vancouver Island -- a great time at an amazing venue (...plus perhaps most importantly of all -- the first time we've ever played on the island without totally taking a bath on ferry expenses.) Private functions, alas -- we can't pack our audience along! But here, finally, we have a gig we can tell you about -- the first in months:
It's true -- we had so much fun
last year, we had to come back and play another installment in this free outdoor concert series. There's really nothing else like it. Against a backdrop of incomparable natural beauty, sixty empty chairs are set up. An extension cord is run out from the community centre, and then a band sets up a PA and plays two sets, beginning at 6:30. Somehow, from somewhere, sixty bottoms find those chairs and occupy them until the sun goes down. It's magical. Heck, it might even be fun for the audience members!
Hope to see you there! 6:30 pm, Wednesday August 7th, at Trout "John Hendry Park" Lake.
