Local Showcase - 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.

We hope to end the concert about 10 pm. Start time will depend on the number of artists/groups who are involved.

We expect tickets to be $15. All the money from ticket sales will go to the artists. Tickets will be available from the artists and they get to keep the money from the tickets they sell. Tickets will also be 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.

All the details aren't finalized yet. We'll keep this page updated as more information is available.

Performers, Artists, Groups

If you live between Cochrane and High River/Okotooks area and outside of Calgary and you'd like to be part of this, please contact us .

We don't plan any formal contracts, we figure that if you're performing for friends and neighbors, you'll show up. We will provide a sound system for you to plug your instruments into.  We also have a number of mikes. We have up to 6 monitor mixes. We don't want to have other amps on stage and we prefer to control all levels. Monitors can be adjusted to your preferences. We prefer that all instruments be attached to the sound system or miked. We'd like you to provide us with a list of your instrument attachment requirements, vocal requirements plus a stage plot for groups.
