They were so popular the first time, they have decided to make a second trip. Song of the Prairies, a concert with Darrel and Saskia, is returning once again to Chase.
The unique duo entertained an enthusiastic crowd last September, doing their best to get every foot tapping.
Now, on March 14, Darrel Delaronde and Saskia, also known as the touring band of Gary Fjellgard, will be returning to the Chase Creekside Seniors’ Centre, across from the legion, at 7:30 p.m. They will be bringing with them a wonderful collection of songs with folk, roots, Celtic and country flavour, along with fabulous harmonies and stunning musicianship.
Darrel and Saskia are known for touring with Canadian music icon Gary Fjellgaard, an opportunity not open many. This accomplishment alone is thought to speak volumes about their abilities as musicians and songwriters. Fjellgard is well known throughout the music industry as being very “fussy” about his sound and the integrity of his show.
On their own, Darrel and Saskia are a powerful presence in their field, winning Top 5 people’s choice awards, hitting the #4 spot on MSN Radio’s National Top 30 Countdown, and being nominated for Album of the Year, Aboriginal Artist of the Year (times three), as well as Songwriter of the Year in Saskatchewan. They remain a perennial favourite on the Indie Euro stations. Their music is blithely described as “Prairie Roots.”
Their return trip to Chase is part of a tour that includes 32 shows played in 32 days across Northern B.C.
Tickets are available at the door for $10.
