The foot stompin' Golden City Fiddlers are on stage first to set the tone for an evening of excellent entertainment at the Joe Hill Coffeehouse next Sunday, March 20, at the Miners' Hall.
The crowd will also be treated to Salmo's songbird, Kyla Hanna, a singer, guitarist, and pianist who has played from a young age, growing up with the Bulkley Valley Folk Music Society, and attending Selkirk College's music program. Hanna's 2006 CD, "Bell" includes the song "All I am" that was selected for the 2007 Soundvibes complitaion disc of Kootenay artists.
Now she works with Aroundback Music Studio in Salmo, a non-profit community space for recording, learning, and making music available to everyone.
Other highlights include Rossland's own Dandelion and the Ditchweeds, set to blossom for a colourful spring, while Terry and Janet Marshall have prepared a green selection in honour of St. Patrick.
Kootenay DanceWorks have Jill Amantea and Cydney Streadwick on the stage, and the audience will also be treated to solo acts by Clay Gouin, Marti Danie, and Jen Jellet with her island music.
Admission is only $3, free for students. As always, volunteers are more than welcome to contact organizer Michael Gifford to find out how they can help: Call 362-7170 or write giffmus@telus.net.
Because the drama students have departed to London, no group had yet filled the void in the concessions stand at the time this went to print.
Organizations that want to raise a little money selling beverages and baked goods should contact Gifford.
