Bragg Creek and Area Showcase 7 pm - Saturday, January 17, 2009

In the past, Bragg Creek Performing Arts has concerts in January, however, in the depths of winter, attendance has been sparse because many people in our regular audience have to travel from Calgary or further to attend our concerts. In 2007/2008, we didn't have a concert in January and it seemed like a long time between November and February.

Now, Bragg Creek, Redwood Meadows and the surrounding areas have a number of very talented artists. Some of these artists would like to be able to perform in front of their family, friends and neighbors. So in 2009, we thought we'd try to have a January concert but make it community event with local artists. With the cooperation of the Bragg Creek Community Association, the first Local Showcase will happen on Saturday, January 17, 2009.

How it works

Each artist or group will play a 45 - 50 minute set. There will then be a 10 - 15 minute break between sets for us to set up the next group and for the audience to take a break.

Doors will open at 6 pm and the concert will begin at 7 pm.

Tickets are $15. All the money from ticket sales goes to the artists. Tickets will be available from the artists and they get to keep the money from the tickets they sell. Tickets are also available from this web site, our ticket line at 403-949-4114, Bragg Creek Centre in person or from 403-949-4277 and in person at Spirits West. Money from ticket outlet sales will be split between the artists. Tickets will also be available at the door.

Performers

Sarah Clark

Sarah has been singing and composing her own songs since she was 5 years old. Her angelic voice moves audiences with original songs and lyrics that demonstrate depth far beyond her 14 years.

Sarah's musical style is contemporary/pop with undertones of blues and jazz. Her songs explore the experiences and emotional issues that happen to her or people around her.  She has a wide variety of musical interests and enjoys listening to many different artists.  She has a very unique style that captivates listeners.

James Slater

James Slater was born in Derbyshire, England but has grown up in Redwood Meadows and Cochrane. He writes his own material but is heavily influenced by singer/songwriters from the 1960/70's era. Among these most talented artists he says that The Rolling Stones and Bob Dylan and more recently Ron Sexsmith and Jakob Dylan have had a major bearing on his style. James experiments with his songs, changing the arrangements to suit the phase he is currently going through. With his lyrics he tries to capture events in everyday life and expressing what he sees in a song.

Pat Cardinal and Friends

For over 10 years Pat Cardinal has brought his unique take on classic country songs and original material to audiences large and small. A charismatic performer, Pat grew up a cowboy on the T’suu Tina nation around Bragg Creek. A self described “old style country musician” heavily influenced by the likes of George Jones and Waylon Jennings, Pat intertwines songs of the past with his own material celebrating the life of the Indian cowboy. Pat has played at some of Alberta’s most prominent festivals, country venues and Honky Tonks. As a proud Aboriginal Artist Pat, is constantly working to help define a unique sound and stage presence worthy of those he honours. With his friend and collaborator Tim Mitchell, Pat Cardinal and his friends are always a treat to hear.
