Award-winning musician and blues guitarist Brandon Isaak is making a stop near 100 Mile House performing at the Bradley Creek Stumpranchers Hall outside Forest Grove on Sept. 21.

Promoter Astrid Roy of Momentum Productions says she’s excited for Isaak to hit the stage.

Brandon is a really great blues player. He’s a really interesting guy….

He’s from up north and he’s known sometimes as Yukon Slim. We’re really excited and it sounds like other people are pretty excited.”

Isaak’s 2012 record, Bluesman’s Pleas, was nominated for a Western Canadian Blues Award for Best Blues Album of the Year.

In 2008, he won a Juno Award for Blues Record of the Year with his guitar playing on Kenny Wayne’s album, Let It Loose.

Around 40 tickets are available. The doors open at 7 p.m. and the show starts at.

It’s a really cool venue. It’s an old log schoolhouse. It’s intimate, but not too tiny, and the sound in there is really great.”

Tickets are $15 and available at Nuthatch Books at 1-104 Birch Ave. in 100 Mile House, or by phoning 250-397-4103.

The show will be followed by snacks, refreshments and a bonfire.

Maybe afterwards people will feel like jamming or just hanging. It should be a really fun evening.”
