They have made big strides around the Shuswap and now The Elk Tribe is charging its way to the North Okanagan.
The band is the next feature act to play the Coldstream Coffee House Saturday, April 18.
Made up of the Harder brothers – Zach (percussion, rhythm guitar), Levi (vocals) and Brayden (bass) – as well as David McMaster (violin, mandolin) and Amanda Harder (vocalist), the band’s brand of alternative folk has been well received by all ages.
In summer 2013, six months after forming, the band played Salmon Arm’s Roots and Blues, after then festival artistic director Hugo Rampen heard them.
They went on to play a sold out concert for the release of their debut album Over Mountains and Meadows and have been performing at venues from coffee shops, theatres and outdoor stages ever since.
The Elk Tribe is currently working on new single Dark Ocean, planned for release in fall.
Saturday’s coffee house at the Coldstream Women’s Institute Hall, 9909 Kalamalka Rd., starts with the open mic at 7 p.m. (doors open at 6:30) followed by the feature performance. Admission is $5. A concession is available by donation.
