Sasha Lewis is the folk/roots treasure of BC and she's coming back to Jackfish Dundee's on Thursday, October 27th. But this time she's bringing more friends - The Wild Oaks are Jesse Clarke and Jacob Verburg from Salmon Arm and people can't stop raving about them! 

Sasha is from Dunster, BC and her musical background is "inspiring" folk-rock. She has been nominated for the BC Interior Music Awards and has a definite flair for heartfelt songwriting. 

Jesse and Jacob started playing together and their name dropped out of the sky (literally, an acorn fell on Jesse's head). They describe their music as progressive indie folk and they write some great music that they get really excited about.

So instead of having to hear them through your computer speakers, head down to Jackfish Dundee's on the 27th at 8pm for Sasha Lewis and the Wild Oaks - a rootsy, folky, fabulous time. You don't want to miss this show (not only is it great music, you will earn serious indie cred)!
