So, come visit Steveston soon to enjoy all that it has to offer and don't forget the dates below... See you there! Music In The Village 2007 Series ScheduleFriday, August 3—2 ~ 4 pm Greg Meloche
Greg Meloche has been performing in Richmond since 1995 as a regular at the Steveston Folk Guild and community events. He combines acoustic guitar and bodhran (Celtic drum) with the deep, smooth voice of a troubadour, somewhere between Stan Rogers and Roger Whittaker. Greg performs original compositions and an eclectic mix of songs from traditional folk and country to 50's and 60's pop-rock. From the weird to the wonderful, expect the unexpected when Greg takes the stage. Saturday, August 11—1 ~ 3 pm Pender
Pender is the musical equivalent of Neil Young's Crazy Horse and Wilco having a potluck with Nirvana and Evan Dando. It's a gathering of influences of country through punk rock, '80s synth to brit pop beats and a side of grunge for good measure served on unpretentious white paper plates. www.myspace.com/pendertheband Saturday, August 18—1 ~ 3 pm Xavier Skakun
Wesley Skakun and Rick Xavier, members of the Richmond Fusion Collective, bring together djembe and acoustic guitar for a unique blend of original soulful music. Their colorful rhythms and harmonic progressions create a gently engaging listening experience for a summer afternoon. Saturday, August 25—1 ~ 3 pm Cherelle Jardine & Friends
Local recording artist and well known organizer of Musical Expressions, kicks back with some of her talented musician friends (Doug Smith, Norm Avelino, Greg Meloche) to create a special concert in the park. Cherelle will be performing songs off her CD Head Traffic, as well as newly written pieces. www.cherellejardine.com Friday, August 31—2 ~ 4 pm Dusty Hillbillys Dave McArthur & Richard Sevigny
These guys play a mixture of folk, Celtic, some country and western, and soft vintage rock. You will hear great songs with strong vocal harmonies, which always go down well with audiences of all ages. Consisting of two guitars (Richard is an awesome rock guitarist), he plays lap steel guitar (Hawaiian steel guitar), which is a pretty neat instrument, and will sure draw a crowd. Dave handles most of the vocals with his soft poignant songs, with a touch of country and a Celtic flavour. Richard delivers the down and dirty rock stuff. Together it's a blast and everyone has a great time.
