We took the scenic drive to Fort Frances, ON the next day, after a hearty breakfast at the Scandinavian House. Going through the central time zone cut an hour out of our drive and gave us time to catch up with Carson and Lindsay, the proprietors of the Little Beaver Cultural Centre.
We were treated to a delicious dinner prior to our performance that evening and had a very attentive audience of local supporters and friends of the Cultural Centre. It was a very laid back atmosphere at the Little Beaver with everyone by the bonfire on the licenced patio between sets. It was our first time playing in Fort Frances and found everyone to be awesome!
Many thanks go out to all whom attended and to our accommodating hosts Carson and Lindsay, you guys rock! Congratulations on your awesome venue!
We drove Carson to Winnipeg the next morning as it was on our way to Brandon, MB, our next scheduled performance. After dropping our friend off at the airport, we stopped in for a coffee at my other good friend Matt’s house. I stayed a Matt’s last year during my visit in Winnipeg while on the Good Faith Tour. We had time to catch up a bit before B.B. and I made the rest of the drive, in order to set up for the evening show.
Tired and hungry from the road, we didn’t have time to get a bite to eat in before the show since we had arrived a little later than anticipated. Many familiar faces were out. My friends Dennis and Jenn even remembered my fascination with midnight bike rides from the year before, and organized another one for later that night.
We managed to pick up another show for Saturday thanks to Kaleigh. The Stobbes were kind enough to invite us into there home again as they did for me last year. It’s always a welcomed treat to arrive at their road oasis.
Friday night we played at the Double Decker after enjoying a good dinner with a family friend, Alicia, and her friends: Crystal, Adam, and Kyle. While closing down the night at the Decker we made plans for the future as we discussed an impending collaboration with promoters of the Brandon local favourites, Take With Audio.
Saturday began after breakfast with a drive around Brandon. We went to the Lady Of The Lake for an early sound check and dinner.
B.B.: “ Man, what a wicked club! Kaleigh sure can put together one hell of a sandwich. Spiced just right and made with the finest organic ingredients, the bar has been raised yet again. Not to be missed, this prairie club house will keep you full till the Rockies!”
To everyone in Brandon, MB, we’ll catch you on the flip-side. Looking forward to having another time!
Musically,
