Get your dancing shoes ready as the second annual Boogie for Nature with Kelowna’s popular, high-energy Devon Coyote on May 7 at the Elk’s Hall.

Devon Coyote’s fusion of roots, rock and blues and their shared passion for creating great music and a fierce determination to be heard, have led the boys to success in the Canadian Indie music scene.

Years ago, Devon “Coyote” Bjarnason carved a path into Western Canada’s touring circuit, winning over fans with his passion, presence and strong songwriting.  As his career grew, he recruited a rock-solid rhythm-section by joining forces with drummer/percussionist Rod Anderson and bassist/multi-instrumentalist D’Arcy Booth.

As well as get-up-and-dance music, Boogie For Nature will feature  a silent auction that includes original artwork by well-known artists such  as Steve Mennie, Rick Tanaka, Lynn Erin and Lisa Figueroa.

The event is a fundraiser for the Shuswap Environmental Action Society (SEAS). Proceeds will be dedicated to a project that will produce a preliminary study of Shuswap’s melting glaciers and to determine what the impacts will be when these glaciers disappear.

Boogie For Nature begins at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are available at Acorn Music or call 832-8669.
