In the Wakefield area, the band is a hot ticket, having sold out Sunday’s show at the Lascelles general store, north of the village, in less than a day. Mind you, fewer than 40 tickets were available for the intimate engagement, which is part of a concert series that store owners David and Becki Irvine launched earlier this year. The performances take place in a room on the second floor, and there are plans to host outdoor shows by summer.
Other shows in the last couple of months have featured singer-songwriter Lynn Miles and Montreal’s L’il Andy, while upcoming gigs with Zachary Lucky, Andrew Penner, the Montreal Horn Stars and Elliott Brood are also confirmed. Each date is billed as a private, licenced concert and advance tickets are required, available by emailing [email protected]. They tend to sell out quickly.
