A duo of accomplished acoustic duos will be performing as part of the free Simms park summer concert series this weekend.
On Sunday, June 21, duos Saskia Delaronde and Nathan Tinkham, as well as Judy and Bruce Wing, will be taking the stage in the park. The show is at 7 p.m. and attendees are asked to bring their own lawnchairs or blankets.
"Saskia Delaronde and Nathan Tinkham bring down-to-earth music with heart and soul. Both are favourites on the Canadian folk and country music scenes and are seasoned songwriters. They are spreading feel-good music and laughter one song at a time," says a release from the City of Courtenay.
"Judy and Bruce Wing are a duo whose soul-stirring music has been part of the local music scene for nearly two decades," the release says. "Their music is eclectic - finding grooves that range from folk/roots, blues, and jazz with imaginative arrangements and a sincerity that touches the heart."
Other featured Simms Park performances on Sundays at 7 p.m. include the Kenny Shaw Trio on July 28, the Valley Cats on August 11, Time Well Wasted on August 18 and the final concert is Stealing Dan on August 25. A Food Bank Drive will also be included as part of the August 25 concert. The park is located by the 5th Street Bridge across from Lewis Park.
