FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Prince George, B.C. – The last concert night of the summer takes place this Thursday, September 3, at Lheidli T’enneh Memorial Park. The City of Prince George’s Music in the Park kicks off at the bandshell at 6:30 p.m.
Residents are invited to bring chairs and blankets and get comfortable while enjoying music from three Canadian artists:
- Joe Daniels is a Gitxsan singer-songwriter from Giwangak, B.C. Joe plays a mix of blues, country and soul music with his own twist combining a blend of covers and powerful originals.
- Calgary's Amy Nelson is a conduit of voices from the past, reverentially channeling the sounds of depression-era blues, psychedelic drone and mountain country music. Amy Nelson is one of Canada’s best performers, and has opened for artists such as Corb Lund, Tim Hus, Whitney Rose, and Frazey Ford.
- Carter Felker’s songwriting is the embodiment of simplicity. Like the hammer and the nail, the tongue and groove or the wheel and its roll - the stringent and punchy use of words alongside outstanding fingerpicking are as effective as they are memorable. Stories of hometown lore, love lost and bitter relationships steeped with a deep sense of humor are Felker’s modus operandi. The ability to tell a story we all know, inside parameters we forget exist.
The City thanks BCLC for its sponsorship of Music in the Park, which made six free performances available to residents this summer and featured 16 musical acts. Get more information on the event page.
