The fourth edition of the Chemainus Opry will be presented Saturday, Dec. 6 at Mount Brenton Golf Club in Chemainus and will feature performances by the Moon Riders and Bluegrass Fever.
Music fans will be treated to great country and bluegrass entertainment at the clubhouse throughout the evening.
The Moon Riders, who performed at the Chemainus Bluegrass Festival this July, specialize in classic country music, featuring guitar virtuoso Gord Bigham.
“The lead vocals are provided by Sharon Dudka, whose beautiful voice interprets the really great old country songs so wonderfully,” states a press release. “The solid sound of the upright bass is managed by Blaine Bartleman.”
Bluegrass Fever really needs no introduction in this region. The band has developed a solid reputation as one of the most crowd-pleasing bluegrass bands.
“Always one of the most popular bands whenever they play, the boys love to perform those great old bluegrass songs,” according to the press release. “Banjo picker Barrie Hemmings is always a standout performer, and he combines his nimble banjo picking with a really great voice for lead vocals. Guitarist Bob Johns also takes a share of the lead singing, backed up by the high harmonies of upright bassist Guy Langlois. Steve Bastian provides the solid mandolin chop, as well as some amazing lead breaks on the instrument.”
The music gets underway at 7 p.m., but music fans are encouraged to arrive early. Licensed dining will be available, as chef Michael Morgan will be on hand.
Admission is $10, and advance tickets are available upstairs at the golf club.
Tickets can also be purchased at the door.
