Our own CBC Radio front runners 'TWIN PEAKS' open for Canadian Country Singer Sean Hogan at the Cultural Centre Theatre tonight May 11th!

These are pretty exciting times for two Fort St John singers, Naomi Shore and Lindsay Pratt - aka Twin Peaks. Having just made it into the top 10 for CBC radio's nation wide contest Tracks on Tracks contest they're busy recording and rehearsing and getting ready for their first tour! 

You can come out and support FSJ's favourite duo this Friday night when they hit the big stage at the Cultural Centre to open for Canadian Award Winning Country singer Sean Hogan and friends. If you haven't seen them yet, Friday nights the night. 

And, you can also see our own Craig Brooks of Deere John sitting in on the kit as part of Hogan's band. With Brooks trademark showmanship and solid drumming added to Hogan's crooning country tunes, you know we're in for a good night! 

Sean Hogan, one of Canada's inimitable dark horses in the Country Music Industry - is riding fast and steady towards the brass ring right now. Tagged as a balance between contemporary Country and cosmic cowboy, Hogan's songs, at once compelling, evocative, persuasive are remarkably crafted, fitting your ears and your soul as well as a pair of road worn boots fit your feet. Whether shaped by life's challenges or simply blessed with a natural gift, Hogan's voice, his music and his career have taken the scenic route, along the way gathering material and life lessons that make for remarkable songs and remarkable performances. 

What a great show this is going to be! Twin Peaks and Craig Brooks join the Sean Hogan band show at 7:30 pm Friday night. (pssst..we've heard that there might be a surprise cameo appearance too) Get your tickets, put your best boots on, grab your partner and see you at the show. 

Co-sponsored by Moose FM (listen to win tickets!) 

Show starts at 7:30 and tickets on sale now!

Lindsay Pratt and Naomi Shore are in a band called "Twin Peaks", and they have recently won this year's RocKIN the Peace Concert!  In the excitement of the aftermath, we've quickly organized a special show for these girls to perform at the incredible new venue, "The Breakfast Room".

These girls have been spending much time to create a fun-filled set of music filled with wonderful blended vocal melodies & harmonies.  I'm personally a huge fan of these girls, and am honoured to be able to see them at their very own show where we can enjoy their music even more than we already do!
