This Friday, there is somethin' a happenin' that you will be very upset if you miss.
Miss Quincy (w. Dave Tolley), Sasha Lewis, and The Wild Oaks, are all performing in an atomosphere like none other -- in the new venue, The Breakfast Room, in the Pomeroy Hotel.
Things kick off at around 7:30PM on Friday, Oct 28th.
The venue is best explained like this: It's like a giant living room with a bar, with all of your friends & favorite people, a fireplace and candles, listening to great music, and having a great time in a really fun night out. Make sense? Come check it out for yourself!
Tickets are available in advance online, at Tony Romas, and the front desk of the Pomeroy Hotel for just $15 in advance or at the door for $20. This is not a Halloween event, so please don't show up in a costume... however, feel free to dress up in something nice! It's a great excuse to go see our firends at Marc Joseph to be lookin' your best.
Here's some more info on the bands.
Miss Quincy does not fit the classic Singer/Songwriter mold. She plays guitar like she practices and sings songs like she means them. “Bringing a sense of the renegade women of the old West mixed with a modern independence of spirit, her extraordinary clear voice and well-crafted, memorable songs range through bluegrass and barroom blues, gypsy jazz, and something that is all of the above and yet something unique.” (Backroads Music, UK). Tipping her hat to earlier times and the rugged northern beauty that has been the backdrop of her life, Miss Quincy draws inspiration from the pioneering women who came before, the blues ladies of the 1930s, dirty guitar licks, and sweet gospel harmonies.
Sasha Lewis - Rock/Roots Folkstress Sasha Lewis is being called BC's little treasure. When describing Sasha's performances and recordings, adjectives like "a new and original voice in Canadian songwriting" come to mind, also, "inspiring folk-rock". Possessing a powerful range and presence Lewis has honed her distinctive songwriting abilities into a unique style that arises out of her life story. Not only has Sasha been showcased at the Roots and Blues Music Festival but her song "Reasons" is on The Province Playlist. Lewis has been nominated for Peoples Choice at the 2011 BC Interior Music Awards, also in 2010 one of her co-written songs was nominated at the BCIMA’S in the Urban category. With her edgy vocals and thoughtful lyrics, she hits all the right emotions and pulls at the heart strings. Having a strongly developed background within her craft she has attracted a genuine and ever growing fan base of supporters who have followed her since the first strum on her guitar and stroke of her pen.
The Wild Oaks - From Salmon Arm, BC, The Wild Oaks is the song writing combination of Jacob Verburg and Jesse Clarke. Jesse Clarke was a founding member of Old Man's Beard. Together they write music that displays their talent as song writers and musicians. After a few jams in the spring of 2011 the boys found the musical combination incredibly creative and fulfilling. They are very excited about their new project, so look for them in a coffee house or street corner near you.
