Award winning band Big Little Lions are back in the Comox Valley (Helen Austin never actually left for very long) to play a couple of shows before they head off to play at The Sunshine Music Festival in Powell River.
They will be bringing their mix of folk/pop in a new configuration of a trio with Cincinnati’s Paul Otten playing drums, keyboard, bass and singing simultaneously (it’s quite entertaining). Helen and Paul are once again joined by Helen’s daughter, Daisy Squires, on a whole bunch of additional instruments including fiddle, glockenspiel, backing vocals and melodica.
Big Little Lions had a fabulous time playing at this year’s Vancouver Island MusicFest and have been working hard state-side on new songs and the new set up. They will be playing two shows in the Valley and the first is on Wednesday, Sept. 2 at Zocalo Cafe on Fifth Street in Courtenay, which is kid-friendly and has great food. Their other is on Thursday Sept. 3 and at The Roy on the Island Highway in Royston, and is over 19 only and also has great food and beer. Both shows start at 7 p.m.
