OXBOW - This year’s edition of the Bow Valley Jamboree will feature a variety of talent taking to the stage on Aug. 7 at the Bow Valley Park south of Oxbow.
Here is some information on each act:
Downwind:
Founding members Earl Mellom (piano), Terry Fraser (bass), Paul Twietmeyer (sax and percussion) and Dianne Twietmeyer (vocals), along with their Downwind bandmates will, as they have in recent years, kick off the Bow Valley Jamboree with a guarantee of good times and good music.
Harmoniously Hip:
Harmoniously Hip members Kathy Kyle and Erin Brown think making harmony is a great way to spend the downtime they eke out of their busy lives. The two vocalists are from southeast Saskatchewan. They formed their group in 2019 and have been playing together ever since. To hear their stellar tunes and the weird story of how they came up with their band name, catch them at the Jamboree.
Morgan Robertson:
Robertson is an 18-year-old from Carlyle. Her passion for music began with fiddle lessons at the age of six, with her love for music expanding in the last six years to include playing guitar, singing and writing music. Morgan recently received the 2021 Saskatchewan Country Music Association Youth Development Bursary, and won a spot in the Henhouse Youth Songwriting competition based in Nashville.
Last Birds:
Last Birds, a folk Americana duo from North Portal, consists of the husband-wife team of Lindsay Arnold and Mike Davis. Last Birds follows the success of the Saskatchewan folk trio Hook & Nail, which received a Canadian Folk Music Award nomination for New/Emerging Artist of the Year in 2020. Their live, “two voices, two guitars” approach is consistently described by listeners as mesmerizing.
The Singles with Heidi Munro and Scott Patrick:
Heidi Munro and Scott Patrick are in an elite group of Saskatchewan’s most consistent and awarded artists. Individually, they have busy careers spanning decades. After crossing paths at concerts, awards shows and festivals, and while sharing the stage, Munro and Patrick decided to work on a duo project and co-write together. They have quickly gained a reputation as Saskatchewan’s power duo on the prairie music scene.
Blu Beach Band:
Blu Beach Band, an indie rock group based out of Langenburg and Esterhazy, is made up of teens Carter Vosper, Remi Berthelet, Eric Vosper and Riley Buchberger. In the past year alone, the group has opened for bands such as Trooper and Streetheart, played live on Telemiracle, and performed at over 30 local gigs, while quickly gaining a local following.
