2013 Performances in the Park

Courtesy of the Central Cariboo Arts/Culture Society:

This year’s line-up for Performances in the Park summer concert series rocks!  Get your lawn chairs ready and prepare for a musical celebration for the whole family every Thursday night in Boitanio Park.  

Thanks to the support from the City of Williams Lake, the Cariboo Regional District and local sponsors, the stage will light up in Boitanio Park each Thursday evening from July 4^th to August 22^nd, 2013 with talented local and provincial performers.

From 6 – 6:45 pm and then from 7 – 8 pm, each night will be filled with family friendly entertainment.  Having two time slots provides opportunity for young performers to grow their stage legs and on some nights we will have two main acts.

Gold Sponsor for Performances in the Park this year is BMO-Bank of Montreal, The Wolf / The Rush radio stations are our proud radio sponsors, Got News Network is keeping us updated online and The Williams Lake Tribune is providing updates in print.

Weekly sponsors include Canada Safeway, BCGEU, United Way – Thompson Nicola Cariboo, Windsor Plywood, Oliver and Co., PMT Chartered Accountants, Coast Fraser Inn, Williams Lake and District Credit Union, Zirnhelt Timber Frames LTD., The Yellow Umbrella / Thyme for Tea and Dr. Elmer Thiessen.

The series kicks off on July 4^th with Angelkeys Music Studio, featuring the sweet voices of Angelkeys Children’s Choir and solo performances by very talented young singers followed by the toe tapping tunes of the Old Time Fiddlers.

Michelle Erlandson and Music for Life will be featured on July 11 followed by Colin Easthope and the Coal Harbour Band.  This rising Canadian songsmith fills the air with warm harmonic tones and a surprising sincerity.  Some of the band members hail from Williams Lake in times past.

July 18^th will see Williams Lake Youth Fiddlers and Friends take the stage, followed by the high-energy, up-tempo and spacey electro funk rock of Brent Morton and his new act ‘When the Walls Bend’ are sure to entertain.

Williams Lake’s got Talent on July 25^th features young Williams Lake singers who delight and mesmerise audiences with jazz and folk songs, followed by the foot-stomping country gospel tunes of New Journey.

                         

August 1^st will feature the Eagle Spirit Band’s country rock and Jordan Holmes will take you through a fusion of blues, folk, soul and Eastern music to journey through dreamscapes and drift on afternoon clouds.

The up-and-coming rock band Beautifully Haunting is playing original tunes on August 8^th followed by Perfect Match, who are playing cross-over country / pop / light rock with lively originals that are easy on the ear and good for the heart.

Locals Robyn Ferguson and Oren Barter are teaming up on August 15^th and Brett Wildeman will charm the audience with raw coastal folk inspired by his upbringing in a rural coastal environment.

The final performance night on August 22^nd will see Rowan, Kylie and Sam, a trio originally from Williams Lake, singing covers and original tunes, and My Wife’s Quartet, an experienced and talented group of musicians who will play to your heart and soul.
