Seasonal shows
Hi Folks, a few seasonal gigs coming up.
First of all I’m really looking forward to playing a new venue in Sechelt, right on the beach at the Ocean Club Cafe https://www.oceanclubcafe.com/ Dec 22 . Next is up at my regular Saturday night at the Backeddy pub in Egmont. The Backeddy is one of my favorite rooms to play on the coast, In the winter we are inside in the pub. With the low ceilings, this is one of the best sounding rooms I play, I can’t explain exactly why, But it always sounds good at the Backeddy. In the summer the deck is open and the stage is overlooking the marina and The Sechelt inlet. www.backeddy.ca.
And on Christmas eve, come join me for some apres Christmas shopping at Batch 44 Brewing in Sechelt 2 pm start, https://batch44brewery.com/ good folks, good beer, and good food.
Then for New years, once again I’m up at the Backeddy. Chef Mike is planning a 3 course dinner, I can gaurantee it is always good. check out the menu on their website, or facebook page.
Then in the new year, I’ll be playing the Ocean Club cafe regularly, as well as the Painted Boat up in Madeira Park. and of course in Egmont at the Backeddy.
Thanks to everyone for coming out to my gigs all year, And all the best for the Christmas season, and have a safe and Happy New Year .
