THE B!G SHOW concert is coming to Martin Exeter Hall on June 2.
The concert, held by a group of friends and musicians with roots in the Cariboo, is a benefit for the Hun City Bike Club to support the building of local trails.
The night will include local acts: Candace Copely; The Milers – Mitch Bennett, Jr Olson, Bart Muhic and Dave MacLeod; Andy Krenz and his band the Yokefellow; Kevin Skelcher; and brothers Oren and Justin Gobin; and Williams Lake’s Drum and Bell Tower.
Most musicians have either grown up locally or have spent time living in and enjoying the area, says co-organizer, Dave MacLeod.
“We’re hoping to do these types of concerts more often. All the profits from the evening will be going to support the bike club.”
A table will be set up at the concert, MacLeod adds, to promote and take registrations for the Canadian Mental Health Association-South Cariboo’s first annual Ride for Mental Health on June 24.
MacLeod says he and fellow band mate Olson are committed to giving back to the community.
“When we were kids, we spent a lot of time riding trails, many of which no longer exist due to development,” says Olson. “We want to make sure the local youth have somewhere to ride.”
The doors open at 6:30 p.m. with the show starting at 7, and the $15 tickets are available at The 100 Miler Gear Garage, Didi’s Boutique, and Nuthatch Books. Children are welcome by donation at the door.
