Brit’s Picks July 16 – 23
Pandemic Piano
Thursday – 7pm
Live from his living room, Saskatchewan’s own Jeffery Straker will perform his own original music and favourite covers too. This is the fourth virtual show Straker has performed on his 1910 Heintzman upright piano. Straker most recently released his song Light A Fire written with another Canadian favourite Royal Wood. There is no set tickets for this online performance but if you choose, you can pay into his online tip jar.
Those details can be found on Straker’s Facebook page.

Screamer is Back!

Bud’s on Broadway
While many live music events have been slow to resume in the actual concert venues, there’s one act that cannot be contained to online shows. Screamer is making a return to Bud’s on Broadway Saturday night. The club is operating at half capacity and they are asking you to bring your masks, gloves and sanitizer, whatever you feel you need to protect yourself from the band (sarcasm included).
