It’s time for those looking for some good entertainment to mark their calendars for this spring, when Bragg Creek Performing Arts is launching a new season.
For BCPA President Clint Docken, kicking off a new season is magical.
“I can’t believe it’s almost 2024,” Docken said. “It just crept up on us. There will be insanely incredible touring artists coming to perform.”
The 2024 season has a sweet start on February 10. The Bragg Creek Snowbirds Chalet will come alive with the soulful rhythms of Zenon+: R&B peppered with jazz and a whole lot of soul. Zenon+, the electrifying duo (pronounced Zen-un), promises an extraordinary vibe. The sultry tones of jazz from Zenon+ coupled with rhythmic beat-keeping and harmonies create a unique R&B soundscape that promises an unforgettable evening.
Next up, Tim Isberg takes the stage on April 13, 2024. He is not only a performer but a storyteller. Tim’s repertoire is a fusion of alt-country, roots, and contemporary folk songs.
The BCPA release said, “Tim effortlessly weaves his stories and songs with genuine sincerity a delightful sense of humour. The backbone of Tim’s music lies in his solid guitar rhythms and his ability to transport his audience into the very heart of each song’s narrative.”
A highlight of the season unfolds on June 8, 2024, with Wendy Walker & the Tribe. Wendy is an established Cree Métis and Mi’kmaq First Nations singer-songwriter who has toured Canada and abroad.
Creekers and other music fans from the area will recognize her name, as this is ‘not her first rodeo’ in Bragg Creek.
Her grassroots musical flair spans folk to rock, at times including a traditional musicality that compliments her powerhouse voice.
Docken promises this will be an unforgettable musical experience.
He encourages the community to explore the diverse performances.
"The performing arts are about discovering new perspectives," he said.
“The aim is to show the variety of artistic expressions and viewpoints, making the arts accessible to everyone.”
Concerts in Bragg Creek offer more than just great entertainment, he added.
"As people have choices on where to spend their entertainment dollar, for us, the heart and soul of what we do is bringing the community together and ensuring there's something to suit everybody's taste and that it's affordable," Docken said.
The Bragg Creek Performing Arts Music Series is a commitment to delivering live concerts that captivate and inspire. The Society, a registered not-for-profit charity run entirely by volunteers, invites everyone to join them in celebrating the magic of music and the arts.
