Vancouver’s High Society will kick off the 2016 Safety Meeting concert series at the Central Cariboo Arts Centre this Friday evening, Jan. 8.
“High Society is an East Van rock n roll/soul/punk/blues outfit, eager to fill your eyes and ears with euphoria, excitement, and inspiration,” says event organizer Brandon Hoffman.
Singers Chelsea DE Johnson and Adam Farnsworth have a knack for feeding off the crowd’s energy, which make them an exciting group to open the concert series, he says.
High Society has played festivals at Arts Wells, Kispiox, Music on the Mountain, Robson Valley, Sweet Water 905, Vancouver Jazz Festival, Quadrapalooza, South Country Fair, Hootstock, Fern Fest, Victoria’s Ska and Reggae Fest, and Arts on the Fly to name a few.
Joining High Society on the bill for Friday evening will be The Alchemist (Jay Afbreken) of the psychedelic folk duo Shadows Cast.
“We are quite excited to see what this character has up his sleeve for us,” Hoffman says.
Advance tickets for High Society and The Alchemist are available at Red Shreds Bike and Board Shed for $15. Safety Meeting concerts are set for Friday evenings about twice a month and will run until April 1.
