The band from the Slocan Valley plays old country and rock favourites from artists such as Emmylou Harris, Rodney Crowell, Merle Haggard, Blue Rodeo, Neil Young, CCR, The Eagles and many more. Delaine Hird on lead vocals has a beautiful singing voice reminiscent of Loretta Lynn or Patsy Cline, and has sung old country from childhood. She has continued to play and sing around the Bluegrass circuit with her husband, Gene Hird, for several years. Gene performs on acoustic guitar, playing the signature and recognizable licks with great precision and tone.The band is rounded off by Joe Jmaeff, a very gifted and experienced bassist and back up vocalist with over fifty years experience. With entrance by donation ($2 minimum suggested), it’s the perfect opportunity to bring a lawn chair or a blanket, get outside and listen to some live music in the beautiful setting of Gyro Park every Thursday starting at 7 pm. This show is made possible thanks to Kootenay Savings, BC Arts Council, BC Touring Council, Canadian Heritage and Teck Metals Ltd.
