Saskia and Darrel Delaronde are coming back in the 100 Mile House on July 10.
They dropped in for a concert with Gary Fjellgaard a few years ago during the Garlic Festival to the delight of all who attended and they shared their all Canadian, award-winning music, vocals, and song writing.
This time around, a Concert with Saskia and Darrel – The Great Plains will be entertaining folks at the Creekside Seniors Activity Centre (501 Cedar Ave.) on July 10, starting at 7 p.m.
Enjoy a heart-warming show filled with music, merriment, and mayhem, as Saskia and Darrel deliver a fun blend of folk music, an unpredictable series of songs that change every time you see them.
They delight their audience with tales about miners, Prairie elevators, war brides, patchwork quilts, David Thompson and then, surprisingly, will break into Swiss yodelling, or they sing in Gaelic, Spanish, Dutch, German or French.
Great Plains is a veteran touring act; with an easy, crowd-friendly style that instantly endears them to any audience. This is true Canadiana – real songs drenched in our culture and heritage delivered in a comfortable highly skilled set with oodles of self-poking humour. They offer a taste of Celtic, a dab of bluegrass, and lots of engaging stories wrapped around extremely ear-wormy melodies.
They were awarded Top Folk /Roots Album in Holland; Artist, Album, and Songwriter of the year from SCMA, received Top 5 People’s Choice Awards, and have enjoyed many years airplay on CBC, CKUA and top Indie folk/roots charts in Canada, the United States and Europe.
Tickets are $10 and available at Donex Pharmacy, Exquisite Florals ($12 at the door), or call 250-395-4430 for information.
