The musical duo Saskia and Darrel, also known as “The Great Plains” will be presenting A Cabin Fever Concert at the Church of St. Paul on Town Road in Barriere on Wednesday, March 26, 7 p.m.
Tickets are $12 each and available at St. Paul’s Thrift Store and Thrift Store Annex or by calling Lesley Stirling at 250 672 5702.
Organizers say the concert will be a fabulous mix of country, Celtic and bluegrass flavors.
Saskia and Darrel are familiar to many in the North Thompson Valley. They have toured extensively with Gary Fjellgaard for the last 10 years, performed with Valdy, they opened for the Good Brothers, Ian Tyson, and many more. They were awarded top folk /roots album in Holland; artist, album, and songwriter of the year from SCMA, received Top 5 People’s choice awards, and have enjoyed many years airplay on the Top Indie folk/roots charts in Europe.
They delight their audience with tales about Louis Riel, war brides, miners, and David Thompson and then surprisingly will break into Swiss yodelling, or sing in a variety of languages.
