Friday, Oct. 23
Willoughby Ridge Band
& Steve Somers and the Kings County Line

At 7:30pm — Willoughby Ridge Band

Willoughby Ridge Band is a rollicking local 3 piece acoustic string band that has been here a few times. They play an eclectic mix of traditional and modern music drawing on bluegrass, country, folk and roots influences as well as the works of contemporary singer-songwriters. Original songs from band members are often included as well. A toe-tapping good time.

At 8:50 pm — Steve Somers and The Kings County Line

Just a good ol’ boy, never meanin’ no harm. His songs are full of real-life characters, heartbreak, hilarity, and humanity. Very often the songs are introduced with the real life story from where it came. Steve Somers is an award winning songwriter, singer, and multi-instrumentalist. Originally from Prince Edward Island, you can feel the east coast music vibes in all his tunes. He's been at Crossroads a few times – last year it was a full house crowd for this very enjoyable story-teller with the Kings County Line. https://www.stevesomersmusic.ca/

We're at The Gathering Place - aka The Michael Wright Art Gallery* - by Leigh Square and City Hall, Port Coquitlam, BC (*for Google mapping) Door on Donald Street.

Amaretto Light & Ranj Singh

At 7:30pm — Amaretto Light — Amaretto Light is an acoustic leaning offshoot of Amaretto Blues, created for intimate listening rooms and attentive audiences. The focus is on restraint, harmony, and vocal driven material rather than high energy blues. The group features Danielle Perko on lead vocals and acoustic guitar, Enrico Renz on lead guitar and harmony vocals, Grant Hoffard on bass, and Eric Fry on percussion rounding out the pulse. Their sound draws from folk, roots, and gentle blues traditions.

At 8:50 pm — Ranj Singh — Ranj is an award-winning international touring and recording artist. He started his career in the 80’s performing with many Folk Punjabi and Hindi artists in the Vancouver area. In the 90’s Ranj helped form the “Bhangra Rock” group Dal Dil Vog (a.k.a. DDV). The group went on to win numerous awards and shared the stage with artists such as Jann Arden, 54-40, Colin James, Matthew Good, and more.

Lately, Ranj has been working hard performing over 200 shows a year as a solo artist, and has opened for Honeymoon Suite and shared the stage with many award-winning artists, such as Ra McGuire of Trooper. With a unique voice accompanied by his 2 alternate-tuned 12-string guitars, Ranj’s genre of Indo-Folk music is a melodic and soothing combination of subtle Indian melodies with classic pop / rock covers and originals.

DON'T FORGET — Last one of the season — we are back again in September.
