Farewell to summer: here comes autumn!
FALL SEASON PREVIEW
Well that went quickly! As usual, summer passes in a flash but leaves us anticipating the fresh start that September offers. Back to school, back to our routines, and here at BBVE back to Friday evening music! Here's a quick glance at our schedule so far:
SEPTEMBER
21: Kath & Dave
28: BBVE Open Mic Night
OCTOBER:
05: Elaine Lakeman Trio
19: Daniel Cook & The Radiators
26: BBVE Open Mic Night
We'll have more details on these and other events in future newsletters. We have an Open Mic Night Facebook page which provides details on how to participate as a performer. These evenings are a lot of fun and it's a great opportunity to enjoy and support some of the amazing, unsung talent in our community.
Before we bid a final farewell to summer, we want to remind you about a pair of exceptional house concerts featuring touring artists:
AUGUST 23, 8pm: Tom Richardson (Australia)
SEPTEMBER 14, 8pm: Gordie Tentrees (Yukon)
Details on these concerts can be found by scrolling down and tickets are still available for both events as of this writing.
Both these events are co-sponsored by the Brentwood Bay Community Association, who just wrapped up another successful season of Music In The Park and will be presenting Dustin Bentall & Kendel Carson on September 6th as part of the grand opening ceremonies of the recently completed performance stage in Pioneer Park.
Also, a heads-up that tickets for Barney Bentall & The Cariboo Express, the annual fundraiser for the Saanich Peninsula Lions Food Bank, are now on sale through the Mary Winspear box office. There are three shows this year - November 15th/16th/17th. If you've attended this concert in the past you'll know if's pretty much the best musical event of the year. If you haven't been, get your tickets early because it really is fantastic and the cause is most deserving of your support.
We know this is going to be a great autumn season of music and art and we look forward to seeing you here!
