Centre Stage concerts to return

Gary Giller | Feb 02, 2014

The Center Stage Café will be back in action with live music at the Sharbot Lake Legion on the 3rd Thursday of the month for February, March and April. The house band (Feral Five), as well as playing its own eclectic repertoire, will host a number of local guest performers over the three-month period, showcasing a variety of musical genres. The evenings will run from 7 – 9:30 p.m. with a cash bar as well as a pot of coffee provided for those interested in liquid refreshments while enjoying the music. If past performances are any indication, the cover charge of 2 toonies should be well worth the price of admission.

Thursday, February 20th will start things off on a Country theme with guest performers Dave McCullough, well known for his time as the singing bass player with Red Rose Express, and Mitch Barker, ever popular for his wonderful renditions of “ol’ country” tunes.

As a change of pace, Thursday, March 20th will highlight everything from Blues to Jazz to Rhythm & Blues with the odd show tune thrown in by featuring two newcomers to the Center Stage Café spotlight. One of the guest performers will be the accomplished flutist, Ann Archer (and company), who will also bring along her newly acquired saxophone. The other performance on that same evening will feature the powerful vocals of Andrea Jones accompanied by partner in crime, Logan Murray, on guitar, and the very talented Julia Schall.

Thursday, April 17th will end the series on a Folk/Pop music theme with guest performers Brian Robertson (and company), and Rob and Nancy Moore back by popular demand, both acts having delighted Center Stage Café audiences in the past.

If you enjoy live music and are looking for a way to spend a Thursday evening over the winter months, come and join us!
