Wednesday
Concert Series
For the fifth year running, music will
fill the Historic Downtown of Fernie,
bringing residents and visitors together
to enjoy live entertainment, food, and
refreshments, and an opportunity
to socialize through the Wednesday
Concert Series. Held weekly in July
and August, these events are free
and welcome all ages, tastes and
backgrounds. Organizers work hard to
represent an array of musical genres to
satisfy all interests and perhaps spark
new ones. With nine Wednesdays this
summer, the lineup is not only diverse,
it has some of the biggest names the
series has ever known.
Kicking off the season is the West
Coast’s Jocelyn Pettit Band, playing
original and traditional music inspired
by Canadian and Celtic cultures. Later
26
that month, Fernie welcomes The
Cave Singers – an Indie Rock band
from Seattle, Washington who recently
released their fifth album, Banshee. The
tone changes in early August, as Po’
Ramblin’ Boys hit the outdoor stage.
This Bluegrass band from Tennessee
will play high-energy music from their
debut album, Back to the Mountains.
This is just a taste of what’s on offer and
with each week building off the last,
you won’t want to miss a Wednesday
Concert this summer. For dates and
band names, see calendar, p25.
