ASSINIBOIA - The Organization of Saskatchewan Arts Councils (OSAC) along with Assiniboia and District Arts Council are proud to present Jack Garton in concert at the Prince of Wales Centre on Saturday, April 27 at 7:30 p.m.
Jack Garton performs a breadth of music that spans the intimate, bombastic, funny, skillful and profound. Garton, a sometime gravedigger, tells stories from this unusual day job between catchy original folk and blues songs known to make audiences laugh, dream and dance.
A lifetime musician, proficient on many instruments, his repertoire includes dazzling combinations of trumpet and accordion, backed by a sensitive and groovy rhythm section. Like an old-time showman, Jack Garton will leave you humming his tunes, tired from dancing, and in love with the mystery of life. www.jackgarton.com.
OSAC presents over 300 live community and school performances annually, attended by a total audience of approximately 75,000. This is possible thanks to a dedicated network of volunteers committed to making culture an integral part of Saskatchewan community life, and vital funding from Saskatchewan Lotteries administered by SaskCulture and Canadian Heritage. Proceeds from Saskatchewan Lotteries benefit more than 12,000 non-profit sport, culture and recreation groups around the province.
